MASTER PLAN - Transforming ‘The Pines’

05.09.19

To commence our College building program and fulfilling our Master Plan we will be transforming the Year 8/9 classroom area, known as ‘The Pines’, from a zone of 6 classrooms to a location that will house:

  • Poplars
  • 12 classrooms
  • Staff preparation area
  • Breakout spaces
  • Student and staff toilets
  • Wonderful grounds, with increased play and quiet spaces, that accentuate our ecological commitment.

We are aiming to have this new area ready for 28 January 2020.

Civil works for the new Pines Precinct has commenced. This will impact on the parking for some senior school students, so permission has been granted to those affected to share the car park between the Pines and Thomas Ryan building. We will not know just how many car parks will be affected until the area has been fenced off but it is expected that all car parks will now be at capacity during the day. Marist Park Carpark has also been reopened, please exercise caution in wet weather.

To assist this preparation, we will also be asking that at the end of week 9, classes shift from the current Pines rooms Transportable removalists and builders will  then start on the site in week 10. There will be some classroom challenges and parking challenges for week 10 and first couple of weeks of term 4, however I ask our community to offer their support as much as they are able - it will all be worth it!
