Statement of Significance

Location or context
Outstanding size

A very large Moreton Bay Fig dominating the grounds of the School. The extensive canopy of the tree is in excellent condition. At the base of the tree is a small 'rockery' which should be removed along with two bolts near ground level. A portion of the canopy extends over asphalt. The tree should be regularly inspected and any deadwood removed. Some of the larger branches may require cabling to prevent damage to the framework.
