a new multipurpose facility with gymnasium, stage, fitness lab, modern classrooms, outdoor courts and end of trip facilities
a new student hub within existing Building A and student entry from Parkway Avenue.
Key heritage buildings on the school site will also be retained.

Progress summary
- The construction of the new learning hub and multipurpose facility is now finished and both buildings have been handed over to the school. Students and staff have moved into the new buildings and learning in the new spaces has begun.
- Landscaping and covered walkways around the learning hub and multipurpose facility are now finished, and the learning support drop off on National Park Street is finished.
- The removal of demountables is now underway. The southern cluster of demountables will return to an asphalt play space, and northern cluster will be replaced by the new outdoor sports courts.
Next steps
- The demolition of remaining buildings will take place in the coming months. The new student hub in Building A will be ready for when students return on Day 1 Term 1 2026.
- The remaining landscaping, including construction of the outdoor sports courts will be finished in Term 1. The project is on track to be completed and handed over to the school in mid 2026.
