Building Project

Facilities Report

The College continues to make big strides in improving the facilities for the school community.

The front of the library development is starting to take shape and the Junior School building is now only a few weeks away from being finished.

It is looking amazing inside as panelling, plastering, painting, vinyl laying and electrical fitout occurs at a furious pace.

Most of the furniture is selected and should arrive in time for the grand opening.  The spaces in the new building will provide wonderful flexibility and opportunity for the school community and it’s all only 4-5 weeks away!

Plenty of activity going on around the rest of the College including a recent Working Bee to beautify the central gardens of the school.

A big thank-you to members of the Facilities Committee for their amazing enthusiasm.  In the near future, we will commence a maintenance program to improve structural problems around the school. The Department has assessed the College and has provided over $300000 for repairs.

We are highly pleased that our current architects, Clarke Hopkins Clarke and builders, Newton Manor Constructions will be involved in this work.
