About the project

We undertook a 4 stage project to cater for increasing enrolments at the college.

Firstly we created additional classrooms in the gymnasium building at the Danks St campus.

The second stage involved relocating the previous Pickles St tenant, Melbourne City Mission, in order to build a new campus on the site and reconfigured the existing building to provide modern classrooms for up to 200 students in the third stage.

Finally, we constructed 3 external classroom pavilions and provided landscaped gardens for the site.

Funding

The 2017–18 State Budget allocated $5 million for Project 1.

About the project

We completed an Environmental Arts Hub at the Bay St campus in early 2017. This involved redeveloping a heritage-listed naval drill hall and former post office.

The Hub is being used for a specialist program the school runs for its 250 Year 9 students to develop their knowledge of arts, sciences and humanities through studying climate change and other environmental issues. This innovative cross-discipline approach to learning brings the students together with 25 members of staff, artists in residence, scientists and members of the local community.

Funding

Project 2 received $7.8 million from the 2014–15 and 2016–17 budgets.
