About the project

​​​​​We built a new Performance Hub at the school. This reflected the school's long term vision to have a campus that better caters for contemporary learning and their growing student community.   ​ ​

Located on the corner of the campus, the Performance Hub is a place for the whole student community – an inspiring and outward-facing environment for music and theatre programs, and f​​​or enabling learning through performance. It accommodates teaching and learning areas for the Music School and Drama and Theatre Studies, including planning and support facilities, social spaces and amenities. Flexible VCE facilities, including study and meeting areas, are also part of the hub.

This project, designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects, was the winner of 'Best Project Under $5 Million' in the 2019 Victorian School Design Awards. It was also recognised as a finalist in the 'Completed buildings - school' category at the 2019 World Architecture Festival.

Funding

In the 2016–17 State Budget, $1.5 million was allocated to the school.

In the 2015–16 State Budget, $3 million was allocated to the school.
