Edgars Creek Secondary College

We built the new Edgars Creek Secondary College to meet rapidly-increasing enrolment demand in Epping North. The school will accommodate 1,100 students in Years 7-12.

The college is part of a wider education and community precinct that’s being planned for the area. This will also incorporate a primary school, community activity centre and a council reserve.

Facilities

The school features a two-storey, state-of-the-art STEM building. This houses science labs and flexible break-out spaces upstairs, and material tech and digital technology learning spaces downstairs. All are designed for contemporary teaching and learning approaches, with a focus on interdisciplinary project-based learning across Design, Technology and the Sciences.

We have also created a presentation space with central tiered seating that doubles as a gathering spot for important meetings and ceremonies. There is also an administration and library resource centre, which is shared with the community for professional development programs.

The VSBA has worked closely with the City of Whittlesea to deliver a school that is an important piece of community infrastructure.

Other shared benefits include a community sports oval.

This is part of a precinct with two grounds supporting community club development of Australian rules football and cricket, as well as being used by the school for sports, PE classes and group activities.

The oval is full-sized AFL-grade, and includes sports training lights, coaches’ boxes, sports field fencing and a cricket pitch.

We have completed the second stage of Edgars Creek Secondary College. We built a sports hall, learning community and performing arts building.
