About the project
We are expanding this school. This will give students broader learning opportunities and create places for an extra 100 local children.
What works are happening?
We are expanding the school with a new multi-storey building. The new building will be on the site of Block B, which we’ll demolish in late 2024.
When are works happening?
We expect to start construction in Q1 2025, once we’ve finalised designs and appointed a builder.
Who was consulted?
In developing the design, our architect and their engineering consulting team have worked closely with the school. They have consulted teachers, the principal and the school council. This will ensure the project meets the school’s curriculum needs.
Why do you need to build up?
We are limited by the school boundaries. This means we need to build up, not out, to maintain enough open space for students. The school has emphasised the importance of retaining its open space.
Will students and staff be safe during construction?
Yes. The school will remain open for the duration of the project. The building site will be fenced off, ensuring the safety of all students, staff and residents.
What are the changes to traffic flow and parking arrangements during construction?
We will minimise potential traffic disruptions where possible. The builder may need to work with the local council on a traffic management plan to outline any temporary changes to traffic conditions, road and footpath closures and traffic detours. The builder will communicate with you directly about access or construction impacts.

About the project
We built an inclusive, open plan learning space with panelling and speakers that help manage classroom noise. These works benefit the learning and concentration levels of 'at risk' students.
Funding
In 2017, the school received $79,200 from Round 3 of the Inclusive Schools Fund.
