CREATING INSPIRATIONAL LEARNING SPACES

After pausing some of our projects during the pandemic, we are pleased to make progress with the Ballarat Grammar Capital Works Master Plan in 2021, including starting works on the new 5/6 Centre, which will be constructed by local building company H. Troon Pty. Ltd. Construction commenced in May and will take approximately ten months to complete.

Our Grounds team has been busy: the back oval has been levelled to create a full 400 metre running track and larger oval surface. Any trees removed in this process have been replaced by at least two additional trees in other areas of the campus.

Our Maintenance and Construction team contributes a huge amount having recently completed major works such as the Junior School Reception Area and the transformation of the previous Reception and Staff areas into a light and bright Art Studio for our Junior School Art classes. The team is currently building an additional three multifunctional learning spaces adjacent to the Heinz Centre and will then be undertaking the renovation of the Must Memorial Library. Having our own onsite building team enables the School to achieve excellent value in projects such as these, helping us to provide further great outcomes for our students.

Construction of the new 5/6 Centre has begun and will take approximately ten months to complete. Three new classrooms have been built adjoining the Heinz Centre and the running track, and their fit-out will be complete in June 2021.
