Coming soon: more room to learn and play at our school in the city

The bigger, purpose-built campus will take vertical schooling to the next level in WA – with Stage One to open after the July school holidays. Five state-of-the-art Science laboratories will spring to life, along with a Performing Arts floor with new dance and drama spaces, a music recording studio, rehearsal rooms and lots of space for collaboration and performance. There will also be a bespoke Maths teaching floor, and new electives offered including Food Technology, Woodwork and Mechatronics. 
The additional campus includes a second canteen with an outside courtyard, a Year 12 common room and multiple outdoor areas for students of all year groups. With 441 Murray Street located only 700 metres away from the current location, students will initially divide their time between the two campuses.

“We have trialled the route at various times of the school day, and it is a six-minute walk from the main school building,” said Principal Mrs Tina Campbell.

“We will most definitely be interacting much more with the city from Semester Two, and with so much on the calendar, it is an exciting time to be part of this school community.''

Twelve St George's staff were recently the first to tour the new premises.

Branching out to a new campus and offering new subjects coincides with St George's 10-year anniversary in city. As part of the celebrations, St George’s has launched the school’s first-ever parent association, Friends of St George’s, and will ring in new traditions such as an annual Parent Sundowner at 441 Murray St, celebratory badges and an array of initiatives to commemorate the milestone. Recently, bright red bus backs and an inner-city billboard declared: “10 Years in the City and Loving It’’ with students thrilled to be part of the promotion.

Mrs Campbell said that while St George’s was growing, it would remain true to its foundation of being a close-knit community in the heart of the City of Perth.
