I am pleased to announce that the school signed an agreement on Wednesday 12 October to purchase additional land directly adjacent to the Woodlea Campus. The 3Ha (approximately 8.5 Acres) of land will enable the school to fulfill its ambition to expand the Woodlea Campus into a K to 12 Campus on the one site.
The development of a Senior Secondary School (Year 9 to 12) on the site will commence next year with Year 9. Students in the new Senior Secondary School will pursue an innovative program (Program Kaizen) which promotes academic achievement in STEM and languages with a rich program of personal development.
To support the development at Woodlea a new three-storey senior building will commence early next year. The building will house a comprehensive library facility and a dedicated and imaginative senior STEM facility (see artist’s impression below).
It is personally pleasing to see that all the building blocks are now in place to allow for the continued flourishing of the Woodlea Campus. The development of a full second campus not only creates opportunities at Woodlea, it enables the development of a broader range of programs for all students within the general framework of a Bacchus Marsh Grammar education.
I would like to again thank our Board in their continued focus for the Strategic needs of the school and our wonderful partner Woodlea, in achieving this exciting new development.
