School layout

Шаблон:Unreferenced section The main entrance to ACSS happens to be via Robert Street, which feeds directly into the front gate. Upon entering the front gate the Form 2 and 3 blocks are immediately on the left, the cafeteria is directly ahead and the administrative offices are to the right along with the Information Technology lab. Beyond the cafeteria is the basketball court, to the right is a famous spot for students fondly called "the tunnel", to the left is the staff room. Walking straight ahead would lead to an open area for sports. The form six block is the last one closest to Arima New Government, a primary school which was formerly situated next to ACSS. And has now become apart of the main school, for the purpose of new facilities and added space.
