Stuartholme School is passionate about providing a learning environment that inspires its students. The 100-year-old grounds and facilities have been carefully and respectfully enhanced to not only cater to the increasing school population but to ensure they promote a desire for educational excellence.
The Stuartholme Masterplan 2020+ Designing for the Future is the renewed Masterplan future-proofing the facilities and resources of the School.
Stuartholme will undertake the delivery of this Masterplan as a phased approach and the below highlights some of the major works in progress, planned, or completed.
The School has applied to the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DSDILGP) seeking endorsement for a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) to improve the learning facilities for our students over time. The MID seeks approval for new buildings and works on the Main Campus including the new Junior School Precinct and Freers Site, as identified in the Stuartholme Masterplan 2020.
The MID proposal seeks endorsement for:
- new facilities consistent with the established educational facilities over the Main Campus,
- dedicated Junior School Precinct
- and the Freers site is to be used predominately for the School’s internal sports training and physical education curriculum, for use during the week.
- Images represented above are indicative only and are included only to supplement the architectural drawings.
The extent of training and usage on the Freers Site will vary according to which sport is being played and the time of year. The fields and courts may be used on an ad-hoc basis to assist with ‘overflow’ needs for organised inter-school sporting fixtures occurring elsewhere, typically on Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays. The refurbished Freers building is intended to provide for uses and activities complementary to the sporting facilities over the wider Freers site.
