TWO new classrooms have been airlifted in and a roof has been installed over the St Martins Lutheran College four hardcourts as construction on the mammoth infrastructure improvements begin.
The new roof will weatherproof the college’s large sports space with a further two additional transportable classrooms also temporarily installed on one of the campus basketball courts to provide additional learning spaces while the construction of the Senior School Hub continues.
There are now four transportable classrooms with three being refurbished into a new music centre.
The music centre will include a specialist performance space with a raised stage, a teaching and band room, practice rooms, a staff office and storage space.
The transportable classrooms will be in place for two years while the build takes place with principal Alan Connah stating it was an “exciting year” for the college.
“With the new gymnasium our students will be able to engage in a greater range of sports, no matter what the weather is like,” Mr Connah said.
“This will allow them greater opportunity to develop their skills and talents in this area.
“Once the [Music Centre] facilities are completed, the college will turn its attention to the construction of a new Senior School Hub, which will provide purpose-built facilities for our senior students.”
He said the new senior student centre would include study spaces, classrooms, meeting rooms, a common area and student heat and eat area.
A Student Services Centre and a Learning Enrichment and Wellbeing Centre, space for Indigenous education, staff offices and student and staff amenities will also be included.
