About the project

As part of the merger of Katandra and Berendale schools, we are modernising the Berendale School campus.

This will include 2 new buildings that will house:

  • art and science spaces
  • a junior learning hub
  • a middle-years learning hub.

These spaces will provide classrooms, resource intensive learning spaces, informal learning spaces, staff areas and amenities. The library will be relocated to the Integrated learning centre building. We will also refurbish the existing Block C to accommodate administration space.

About the merger

The merger will provide students and staff at both schools with greater opportunities including

  • richer curriculum and subject offerings
  • more specialist support staff
  • improved facilities and recreation spaces
  • an easier transition from primary school to secondary school.

Juliet Cooper has been appointed as foundation principal of Katandra-Berendale School (interim name).

The new school will be known as Katandra-Berendale School (interim name) until a formal naming process is complete.

Funding

In the 2022–23 State Budget, this project received at least $12.188 million. In the 2020–21 State Budget, the project received $500,000 for planning.
