Stage 2A complete at Christian College Surf Coast campus

STUDENTS at Christian College’s Surf Coast campus will have better facilities to learn and play in following the completion of the Stage 2A building project.

Stage 2A consists of two general learning classrooms for Grade 2 students, an administration facility and a state-of-the-art gymnasium and sports centre.

The $6.8 million upgrades were officially opened by Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney and stakeholders from Christian College on Friday last week.

 

The developments will help the college offer greater intellectual and sporting opportunities for its students, while also helping to accommodate for increasing enrolments.

The Surf Coast campus is heading toward providing education to more than 450 students in the next few years.

 

Ms Tierney said she was overjoyed to officially open the new facilities.

“A huge thanks to the students and teachers for their drive which has weaved the thread through this community.

“I also thank those who have constructed what is upon us, for their hard work, foresight and energy they have to make sure this school continued to run during building.

“This project will hold this community in good stead for a long time and provide it with plenty of opportunities.

“As a state government, we know this community has the support of the school, and our $2 million investment has sure been well spent.”

 

 

Christian College acting principal Rick Geall welcomed the opening of the new facilities.

“It’s been a great opportunity to celebrate, and I express my gratitude to all of those who helped this come to fruition,” he said.

“These will be spaces which play a pivotal role in life at this campus, and I’m sure the Surf Coast region even more broadly.

“The gym in particular will be a place our students can develop their physical abilities and engage in healthy activity with confidence and resilience. It will also serve as a gathering and celebrating place.

“Our students will thrive in every area of life.”
