Primary Library update

Our new Primary library is in use, but we have been waiting for some of the furniture to arrive. The tables for the MAC lab arrived last week and a delivery of chairs and other furniture arrived this morning. The photos below show the MAC lab as it is being set up. Note the outlook over the lake, amphitheatre and new primary classoom building.

Covered Open Learning Area in use

The new Covered Open Learning Area provides a large open covered space for a range of activities limited only by your imagination. In these photos, it is being used for indoor soccer. It's also used as a meeting point for parents and outside of school hours, by the wider community such as local youth groups.

Lower Primary Resource Centre

We are getting very close to being able to use our new Lower Primary Resource Centre. The builders will be finished in a few days, after which we can install furniture, computers, books and everything else that goes into a state of the art teaching and learning space. (The photos below give a sneak preview.)

Once the builders leave we will be able to rehabilitate the playground area surrounding the Resource Centre. This will take a few weeks as the landscaping and irrigation is installed and the new grass is given some time to bed in.

Some of the Lower Primary students have been given a sneak peek at the new rooms and are very excited about moving in - and gave the builders a round of applause!

The Amphitheatre

The amphitheatre area is also now complete. Extended terracing plus shade sails plus the new classrooms and the breezeway underneath have finished off this area. The amphitheatre and stage is a performance space that can fit the whole school

New Upper Primary Classrooms in use

The new Upper Primary classrooms have been in use for some time now. The new building plus the associated landscaping has really transformed the look of that part of the College. At the same time, new drainage and irrigation was installed in the High School. The hot & wet weather lately has allow the new grass and trees to establish themselves quickly.

Roof goes on new covered learning area

The roof is going onto the new Primary covered open learning area this week. The steel roof has been manufactured on site to form a single curved span that covers the width of the building.
The photo below shows the first panel being installed. The roof should be in place by the end of the week.

New Primary Buildings nearing completion

The final touches are now being made on the new Primary classrooms.
The construction fencing has gone and the concreting around the building will be completed this week allowing landscaping of new gardens to begin and carpets to be laid in the rooms.
