St Aloysius College Masterplan
The St Aloysius College Masterplan endorsed by the Mercy Education Ltd Board provides a comprehensive vision for the future of the College, considering the needs of current and future students and staff and promoting innovative and contemporary learning opportunities. The 2023 Masterplan refresh is centred on the essential aspects of the original Masterplan, as determined through consultation with staff, students and families, fundamentally focusing on providing open, green, sustainable, modern and flexible spaces for student learning and recreation. As a campus in the heart of the CBD, our aspirational Masterplan will harness the possibilities and address various challenges over a 10–15-year period.
We’re excited to share the recent progress on the College Masterplan, including the ongoing work on short-term projects and our strong vision for medium- long term projects.
