Building Update
We're nearly there!
Construction is nearly complete, with internal works now finished aside from a few final touch-ups. External paving is also nearing completion and is looking fantastic. Over the coming days, we’ll be finalising connections to services, completing the roofing, installing the building signage and some basic landscaping.
It’s an exciting time for our school community, and we’re looking forward to moving back into the new building within the next two weeks!
