Situated conveniently on the Glen Waverley line, our Heyington and Glendalough campuses boast world-class facilities, in addition to our Year 9 Waterford campus in Richmond, St Peter’s ELC in Toorak and the Tooronga Sports Fields. With more than 2,100 students across our campuses, we acknowledge the need to continuously modernise and expand to meet the educational demands. Following the successful completion of the award-winning Glendalough Project, the College will continue to invest in modern technology, versatile learning spaces and sustainable infrastructure to ensure students learn in innovative environments that are conducive to learning and growth. This commitment to ongoing improvement ensures the College remains at the forefront of education, equipped to inspire and empower students for success in an ever-changing world.
While the Chapel of St Kevin is arguably the heart of the College, it is the Kearney Building where so many fond memories are forged. Recent extensions include the science laboratories, design technology studios and the Albert Street Study Centre in 2013; and the refurbishment of the library, reception and staff study in 2022. The Kearney Wrap will be the most significant upgrade to the building yet, with the extension of the third level allowing for additional classrooms, breakout spaces and a new outdoor learning space. All levels of the existing Kearney Building will remain operational, with student access available to the west and south entrances.
The provision of the new Year 9 Learning Centre will provide the Waterford campus with exemplary teaching and learning facilities. With the provision of the new Year 9 Learning Centre along the Church St frontage, a consolidation of the campus open space will be met. Clarity of movement through the site and between destinations can be realised with this significant key project. The Year 9 Learning Centre will accommodate various teaching and learning spaces: general classrooms in balance with commons space, science labs and associated prep space, multipurpose hall, library, resource centre, administration and reception. Landscape opportunities surrounding the new facility are identified as follows: Church Street forecourt and entry plaza, the Vaucluse arrival plaza, outdoor learning space to the north, active play space and sports courts.
Paralleled with this build will be the evolution of the Heritage Centre, capturing our more than 100-year history through displays of memorabilia and educational opportunities for incoming students, whilst honouring the stories and legacy of Old Collegians.
The new building will provide Heyington with valuable new space for teaching and learning. The building will target the delivery of general classroom facilities and common space, which have been identified as a priority for the campus. The new facility would also look to accommodate a new multi-purpose hall to supersede the existing Smith Building Hall, which the College has outgrown.
Associated infrastructure work will include the provision of a Boardwalk, a dedicated pedestrian link from the top of the hill down to the oval precinct in order to provide a safe means of pedestrian travel to high demand areas.
The vision for the Tooronga Sports Fields is to seamlessly blend sports, science, and cutting-edge technology, enabling the monitoring of athlete performance and data-driven insights for training programs. The campus provides students with access to top-tier sporting facilities that promote physical health and wellbeing. The campus’ new sporting facilities, including indoor cricket nets, basketball courts, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool with an aquatic centre, will serve as a year-round resource for both the College and the wider community, becoming a prominent landmark.
In addition to its focus on sport, the Tooronga Sports Fields supports the College’s academic programs, offering students the chance to explore subjects like human anatomy and physiology, while engaging in science experiments.
The Tooronga Sports Fields envisions becoming a health and wellbeing hub that opens the College’s sporting excellence to students, staff and the wider community, thus providing a shared space for recreation, health and wellbeing.
