Buildings and Grounds 

It’s been a busy and exciting period across our school campuses as several major building and grounds projects take shape, giving our students and community fantastic updated spaces to enjoy.

Making music at Coburg 

At our Coburg campus, the brand-new music studio is fully complete! Equipment has been moved into the space, and individual instrumental music sessions are officially up and running this term.

Sports courts and upgrades at Richmond 

Over at Richmond, groundworks are well underway for our new sports courts. Trees have been cleared, old lighting de-commissioned, and four new stormwater pits poured as we prepare for running power and laying foundations. Nearby, our external toilets have also received a sleek, functional upgrade with new security doors installed for better security and access.

Community and green spaces 

Our outdoor areas are getting a wonderful green glow-up. At Richmond, new planter boxes for the community garden are rapidly taking shape. Down on Highett Street, we’ve teamed up with local residents and the Yarra Council on a major native planting project. Lawns have been cleared, mulch is laid, and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of over 1,400 native plants to bring the street to life.  Additionally, we’ve been chatting with Gleadell Street Market stallholders to offer access to school power on market days, helping create a quieter, generator-free environment for everyone.

Looking ahead: The Richmond hall upgrade 

We are happy to share that Light and Sound Solutions has been selected to transform our Richmond hall. The upgrade will feature upgraded video and audio systems, new lighting, fresh drapes, and portable audio equipment. Works have now begun, and we look forward to having a state-of-the-art space ready just in time for our end-of-year performances and celebrations.

Thank you to our facilities team, council partners, and local community members whose hard work, planning, and support continue to make these campus transformations possible.
