St Kilian’s Master Plan
The purpose of a Master Plan is to have a plan for the future to ensure that the school is prepared for future enrolment and educational trends.
Master Planning is a complex process that needs to consider a number of factors that will impact the final design. The St Kilian’s School Board identified some of the key factors that needed to be considered as we laid the foundations of the Master Plan. These included:
- The size of the school and the current enrolment plan of approximately 275 students.
- The central location of the school and how it draws students and families from all areas of the Bendigo region
- The history of the school and how the current buildings need to be acknowledged and celebrated, whilst also considering the heritage overlay restrictions that may exist
- The contemporary style of learning and teaching that is preferred by students and staff to best support the development of all students into the future.
Project update
The Master Plan often requires some priorities to achieved in stages, as all proposed works cannot take place simultaneously due to funding implications and the interruptions caused to the staff and students. The school must align the staging of projects in line with the order of priorities and opportunities presented.
Adminstration Hub
In July 2024 we successfully were allocated a Victorian Government Grant for the 'Refurbishment of aging general learning areas into contemporary learning spaces' for the amount of $2,144,408.00. Work includes the upgrade of administration and professional support spaces and includes external site works and building services.
