ABOUT THE PROJECT
The new college will provide a much needed state-of-the-art school for 650 Years 7 to 12 students.
It will have first-class sporting facilities built in partnership with the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC). These will be shared by the college, the club and the wider community.
The project will revitalise a rundown site to create facilities and an outdoor environment that can be enjoyed by everyone for generations to come.
The school will open its doors to Year 7 students in term 1, 2018.
Beaumaris Secondary College will have a staged opening. Students will use temporary classrooms on the multipurpose pitch for the first term. Solid hoarding will be in place around all building construction, with temporary fencing around the community oval, to ensure the safety of students.
Facilities opening term 1, 2018:
- Gymnasium/Games Hall and specialist teaching spaces
- Toilets and amenities in the gymnasium/games hall
- Car park
- Community oval
- Landscaping
- Wetlands
Term 2 – Students will have full access to Learning Community Building and the senior oval.
Term 3 – The multipurpose pitch will be complete.
