Campus Development
Not only do Diocesan students enjoy the very best educational experience, they also benefit from a much-enhanced learning environment.
The Past Decade
Over the past decade, we have completed a number of leading edge facilities, including a new, purpose built,
• Junior School
• Science laboratories
• 70 classroom equivalent Centennial Building
• Student Cafeteria
• Senior Common Room Building
• State of the art Aquatic Centre
• Existing facilities for Art and Technology have been extended
• Outdoor recreational spaces have been created.
• Creating a purpose built facility for cycling
Latest Milestone - Aquatic Centre
The latest milestone from the Campus Development Plan has been the completion of the Aquatic Centre, which provides year round water sports and fitness facilities for the whole school.
Stepping Forward - Multi-purpose Sports Turf
The current stage of the plan is the building and development of the all-weather multi-purpose sports turf to accommodate hockey, netball, tennis, touch rugby and physical education. There will also be provision for on-campus car parking. The new sporting precinct will bring sport home to Diocesan and provide our students with future practice facilities. For further information about these projects, please visit the Dig Deep pages.
The development of a world-class Centre for the Arts that will seat 1800 as well as facilities for Music, Drama and Dance, will follow the completion of the turf/carpark development. These facilities will further enhance Performing Arts, already a “Centre of Excellence” at Diocesan School.
Environmentally Sustainable
Extensive research and benchmarking has contributed to the success of past projects. Environmentally Sustainable Design principles are adhered to wherever possible.
For example;
• Rain water is used as a secondary source of water for non-potable tasks and solar heating is a feature of the new Aquatic Centre.
• Ergonomic furniture is selected only after consultation with a physiotherapist and occupational health professional.
Generosity
The facilities our students presently enjoy are the direct result of the generosity and hard work of previous generations of the Diocesan School family.
