New master plan

The last 10 years has seen some significant building developments at St Mary’s College, with the final touches of the building plan implemented in readiness for the return of students at the commencement of 2019. This brings to a close our current master building plan.

Our Junior School students were delighted to see new play equipment and play surfaces waiting for them at the start of Term 1, along with modern educational furniture for the Year 3, 4 and 5 classrooms, courtesy of the P&F.

The College has been working on a new 10-year master plan for the past 18 months which we anticipate will be presented to the College Board and the College community towards the end of year.

A significant priority of the College is to improve wheelchair access to all buildings within the College, especially from the ground level. To overcome the limitations of a landlocked CBD location, we’re working creatively with architects to maximise all spaces around the College with special consideration of the linkages and access between buildings.

We also plan to examine our outdoor areas, allowing more spaces for our students to interact in different ways outside of class and continue to explore all opportunities available to us.

Due to a growing demand for enrolments, the plan will also focus on the need to create new classrooms for the Senior School area.

We’re looking forward to sharing our new master building plan with you soon!
