Our Journey Towards a New Senior School Building
Over recent years, our school has experienced unprecedented student retention, accompanied by a surge of external interest in Montessori education. The greatest rate of growth is expected to be within our senior school. With a firm dedication to nurturing our students throughout their educational journey and commitment to sustaining our delivery of Montessori education, we identified the need for a new building designed for our secondary students. The construction of the new facilities ensures that both our existing families and newcomers continue to experience the unique benefits of our community.
Our endeavour gained support through the acquisition of a grant from the Capital Grants Program as assessed by Australian Independent Schools Western Australia (AISWA). This achievement significantly enhances the feasibility of constructing our new building, embodying our pledge to sustainable development.
This project, which has been in the works for over three years, is led by our dedicated Capital Planning Sub-Committee (CPS), which comprises some of our long-standing parents, has worked with architects and the City of Joondalup to ensure the success of this project. Once we received the Design Approval, in August 2023, we went to tender, which was a milestone to celebrate. This was a significant milestone and cet par the construction phase will commence prior to the end of 2023. We anticipate the completion of the building to be mid-2024. In the meantime, we are finalising options to accommodate students temporarily while the building construction is underway.
The facilities in the new double-storey building, which will be adjacent to the Upper Primary/Lower Secondary Building, will include another science laboratory, flexible classrooms, a library, student common room, kitchen facilities, additional toilets, staff room, and outdoor auditorium space, which will provide valuable resources and spaces for the senior students as well as our school community. These additions will enhance their learning experience and contribute to a vibrant and engaging school environment.
