Exciting News – Cultural Centre Update
We are excited to announce that construction has now started on the Cultural Centre!
We embarked on this journey pre-COVID, but the uncertainties of the pandemic forced us to put our plans on hold. In 2023, planning resumed, only to face new challenges as industry costs exceeded our budget.
However, with patience, dedication, and the invaluable support of Total Project Management and the team at Architectus, we have successfully redesigned the building. We are thrilled with the outcome and the incredible benefits this space will bring to our community.
The Cultural Centre will feature state-of-the-art facilities for Dance, Drama, and Music, providing dedicated spaces for learning and performance. It will also offer exceptional gathering areas for our students, staff, parents, and alumni.
Additionally, we are excited to announce that our current Theatre will soon be transformed into a specialised Orchestra Space.
We look forward to celebrating the grand opening in early 2026!
