Building for the Future – New Learning Space for 2025
Throughout this year, a range of building works have been occurring across the College at various locations. One of these exciting projects is our new Secondary School classroom building, which will be ready for the 2025 academic year.
This state-of-the-art facility will feature eight modern classrooms, each with attached break-out areas designed to support project-based and group learning. The rooms will also feature collapsible internal walls between the classrooms, allowing teachers to combine rooms together to better enable collaborative projects, and to give the College additional options in terms of running larger events that require more space than a standard classroom. The innovative design reflects the College’s commitment to providing flexible learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of our students. The new building will also include additional bathroom facilities similar to the ones we have in our STEAM Centre.
This new block (which will be named Block H) will primarily house Humanities & Social Sciences (HASS) and Mathematics classes and will offer our students not only updated facilities, but also an environment that actively fosters collaboration, creativity, and independent thinking. With the capacity to help accommodate an expanding student body, this building is one component of a range of growth strategies as the College enters a new era of growth as a community, moving from a four class stream structure in each year level to a five class stream structure, starting with Year 7 next year. However, this new facility is not simply a response to increased student numbers; it’s a strategic investment in our students’ future, ensuring they continue to benefit from the best possible learning environments.
The College’s next phase of growth is an exciting time for our community, and we look forward to the new possibilities it will open up for our students and the entire school community.
