Temporary off-site relocation of Year 9 Students
The fire to the South Building over the holidays presented a number of significant challenges in the lead up to the start of the term. One particular challenge, was securing additional classrooms for teaching and learning to replace those that were damaged in the fire. Through the support of Trinity College and Carlton Primary School, we successfully relocated approximately 600 Year 8 and 9 students across three separate locations – all close by to UHS. Whilst the Sites are temporary in nature, the school is enormously grateful for the opportunity to have access to these first class facilities.
We are now in our fifth week at the Year 9 Site (715 Swanston Street, Carlton) and it’s starting to feel a lot more familiar and very much like a school. Below aims to provide an snapshot of the students experiences to date. These were sourced during week 4 via a survey and reflect common themes in the feedback.
What are you enjoying about being at the new Year 9 Site?
What do you enjoy doing the most during breaks (in order of popularity)?
The accompanying photo’s reflect the students playing games and hanging out during the breaks.
