Construction has commenced at the new Hume Anglican Grammar school in Cloverton Estate, Kalkallo.
Principal Bill Sweeney was joined by future students for the official sod turn as well as Stockland Project Director James Westh.
Located on Goodman Avenue and Fitzpatrick Circuit, this will be the school’s third campus with one already built in Mickleham and another in Donnybrook.
There are 1,640 students currently enrolled across both campuses.
The prep to year six campus will be built on an impressive three hectares of land and will comprise six buildings, 120 classrooms and will be home to 580 students.
First stages of the build are expected to be completed by the end of the year in time to open its doors at the beginning of the 2023 school year.
Cloverton Estate will offer eight schools, four government and four private at both primary and secondary levels.
Stockland Project Director James Westh was proud to welcome the school into the Cloverton community.
“This new school is a great opportunity to create a leading education facility that will nurture young minds and develop the talents and skills of children in the community,” Mr Westh said.
Principal Bill Sweeney said: “We’re looking forward to construction commencing at our third campus at Stockland Cloverton and welcoming new families from the community to Hume Anglican Grammar.
“We’re thrilled to be offering students a contemporary learning environment which is bound by our strong ethos of student wellbeing and will provide a stimulating, nurturing and rigorous education for the young people of Stockland Cloverton.”
