Campus Masterplan Announced
Kinross Wolaroi School is embarking on the delivery of a staged masterplan for its built environment that will provide modern, integrated infrastructure designed to meet the needs of our students and staff for many decades: a plan that will commence in 2023.
In a staged process that progressively opens up new zones for redevelopment, the project will provide a physical manifestation of our vision for learning and responds to the needs and aspirations of our school community.
The masterplan is focused on upgrading the school’s academic precinct, in response to strong enrolments and an increasing demand for teaching spaces. The masterplan also recognises the importance the boarding community plays in the overall fabric of the school.
