Development at Pakenham Campus
Extension to Performing Arts Centre and New Administration Area
The new Performing Arts Centre and Administration offices project is now finished and the facilities are in use, thanks a $3 million Federal Government grant. The works included extending the existing Auditorium to incorporate a permanent tiered-seating area for approximately 330 people, the addition of two large spaces for drama and music and a new entrance foyer to the Auditorium. These new spaces will be used by all sections of the College including the Junior School.
This year will also see the Language Centre at the Campus replaced with two new complexes: a Middle School and International Centre. Planned works also include new Junior School buildings and carpark developments.
This is an exciting stage of growth for the College, where capital works expenditure will translate to significant long-term benefits for students.
