The construction of the new STEM building on Flynn Ave is well underway and has just reached a significant milestone. Many sections of the outside scaffolding are being dismantled around the building as the feature panelling is completed. These new amazing facilities will consist of eight Mathematics classrooms, six Science Labs, two General Learning Areas, a Design & Technology classroom and a new Mathematics staffroom. On the construction site there are over thirty tradespeople including electricians, plumbers, wall tilers, joinery installers and painters. They are all working together on both levels to provide state-of-the-art facilities which are planned to be completed by the end of Term 4 this year.
During the next school holidays, the K Block building next door will become a construction site. These major renovations will provide the College with brand new Textile and Food Tech classrooms and a new larger combined staffroom in addition to other improvements on both levels. All going well we plan to have the whole project completed for the start of Term 1, 2025. Both buildings will be connected by an upstairs enclosed “bridge” to improve access to the STEM departments.
After many months of meetings with our architects designing and planning these wonderful new facilities, we are getting really excited as we get closer to the next milestone when the carpet is laid and the new furniture and equipment is set up in the classrooms.
