Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery has today announced an exciting milestone for a major construction project at Duncraig Senior High School.
WITH Architecture Studio Pty Ltd has been appointed to lead the design of the $32.3 million redevelopment that includes refurbishments to existing areas as well as brand new teaching facilities.
The project will see construction of a state-of-the-art science classroom block, a dedicated English classroom block and an addition to the existing administration building.
The multimillion-dollar redevelopment includes major refurbishments to specialist classrooms. The existing science block will be converted into modern IT laboratories, engineering and STEM classrooms.
Other existing classroom spaces will also make way for a domestic food studio, inclusive education room, specialist media, visual arts and music classrooms along with staff study areas and updated general classrooms.
Additional parking for staff, visitors and parents will also be included in this major project.
With the project in the early design phase, construction is expected to start in 2023 for completion within the 2024 school year.
As stated by Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery:
“I am sure students, staff and the Duncraig Senior High School community will join in my excitement that plans for this state-of-the-art redevelopment can now get underway.
“This major construction project will provide students and staff with the latest technology and modern classroom spaces to inspire their teaching and learning.”
As stated by Hillarys MLA Caitlin Collins:
“This was a key election commitment of mine and I am pleased to see this progressing so quickly.
“This $32.3 million redevelopment will bring new, modern facilities to Duncraig Senior High School – delivering the best possible learning environment for our local students.”
