Master Plan

Our Master Plan is set to revitalise our entire South Plympton F-12 Campus, creating inspiring and contemporary spaces for learning and teaching.

This landmark Master Plan represents the most significant development in the history of our College, aiming to enhance student and teacher spaces like never before.
It embodies our commitment to our mission to inspire young people by providing excellence in education, both now and for the future. We give glory and praise to God for His provision to our Christian College.

We have made comprehensive, ongoing plans to ensure the quality of education our students receive remains unwavering during this season of refurbishment.

Stage 1

2024

1.A - Extended main building

A major extension of the western-side of the main, three-story building that will provide:

• a large open-plan multipurpose space of approx. 400m² (second floor)
  
• five additional large classrooms (first floor)
• a covered all-weather outdoor play and recreation space of approximately 400m²

This extension is in a location where students don't access often. As such, we anticipate there will be minimal disruption to students.

1.B - New Home Economics and Art Centres

Once completed, the existing Library and Year 12 Common Room will be temporarily relocated to the top, second floor of the new extension, as above and work will commence on new Home Economics and Art Rooms.

Art Centre - A cutting-edge, purpose-built Art and Design Centre will double this important student practical-learning space.

Home Economics Centre - Spread across one floor, and utilising the former Art Centre space, a refurbished, fully-equipped Home Economics Centre to suit a range of practical lessons. It will double the size of this important student facility.

1.C - Enhanced main building exterior

To seamlessly blend into the new, western-end extension, an enhanced exterior will transform the southern-face of the main three-story building. This will include new, functional, energy-efficient windows and recladding to modernise the entire building, clearly visible from Wheaton Street.

Stage 2 - Undercroft carpark

Commencing 2024/2025

An expansive, undercroft carpark will provide approximately 96 onsite carparks for staff and visitors.

This large carpark will provide fantastic benefits to our students and community by:

• increasing carpark space by more than double that will relieve the congestion on surrounding street parking.
• creating an additional 2500m² of outdoor student recreational space.
• dramatically decreasing street congestion at drop off / pick up times!
• allow our existing carpark to be transformed into a vibrant, outdoor, green spaces for students to socialise, fellowship, learn and play. (stage 3)
