On the ground level, the covered recreation area will offer a shaded space for Sport and Health and Physical Education activities, while the landscaped plaza will create additional gathering space for students. Today’s classrooms are places of passionate debate, experiential learning and focussed discussion. The Science Learning Centre will act as a hub for the pursuit of scientific knowledge, supporting girls’ educational development by evoking questions and analytical thinking while inspiring wonder and awe.

On the upper levels, spacious, well-equipped laboratories will open onto outdoor breakout zones with views of Victoria Park and beyond. A large multi- functional space on level one will provide a gathering place for whole-year group activities, examinations and community events. A central void will be as practical as it is spectacular. Enabling the Centre to take advantage of natural light, the void will also allow effective cross-ventilation to reduce reliance on air-conditioning.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

• three science preparation labs • three meeting rooms • a science staffroom • outdoor breakout zones for students on two levels • outdoor plaza and covered recreation area for Sport and Health and Physical Education.

• multi-functional space for up to 250 people (seated) or 600 (standing) • four Junior Science laboratories • four Chemistry teaching laboratories • four Biology teaching laboratories • four Physics teaching laboratories • five general learning classrooms

The Science Learning Centre is the School’s most substantial building project to date. It will only become possible with strong financial support from the School community—a partnership between the School, parents past and present, alumnae and friends, who will together help us to meet our philanthropic goal. We will be working closely with our community throughout 2019 and 2020 to seek support for this important project.
