Building Update

We have foundations and the first floor is taking shape! The speed at which the new Dunlevie is coming together has been exciting, partly due to the excellent weather conditions for the builders and the hard work of everyone on site.

Over 40 concrete trucks put the foundations in place at the end of Week 2. It was a very long day for the construction team but provided our community with a great sense of the scale of the new building. SAC is very grateful for the excellent communication and ongoing flexibility of the Schiavello team. One of our recent graduates, Caitlin Surynt (Class of 2024), who is studying a Bachelor of Construction Management, is working part-time for Schiavello on this project.

We know that work on the second floor will begin soon. It is exciting to have such a visible sign of progress in the centre of our school.

City of Adelaide Draft Integrated Transport Strategy Consultation

The Adelaide City Council have been working on their transport strategy for some time and are calling again for community feedback. The Council have shared the following information:

In Stage 1 of our consultation, nearly 800 people shared their thoughts on how we move around the city. The main messages we heard were:

A strong call to prioritise public transport, walking/wheeling and cycling
A desire for safer, healthier, more connected streets
A need to rethink how we manage street space, including parking
A push for better cycling infrastructure—especially east-west connections
Concerns about the impacts of through-traffic in the city.

Read the full summary here.

We are now in Stage 2 and we have drafted an Integrated Transport Strategy. This is your chance to provide feedback to the City of Adelaide.

Consultation closes 25 May: https://ouradelaide.sa.gov.au/integrated-transport-strategy. On the page, there is information about how you can provide feedback, including via surveys for both adults and students. It is important that we hear from children and young people too and encourage parents/carers to complete the student survey with their children.

From the College perspective, we understand feedback from parents that limited parking around the school is an ongoing frustration. Given the size of our Primary School, bringing young children to school in the middle of the city presents challenges, and we would appreciate it if the Council considers the needs of these families with young children in their planning when it comes to balancing priorities of public transport, cycling, walking and motor vehicle transport. We believe that the city will flourish when it is accessible to everyone, so measures that may deter people from coming into the city (such as restricted vehicle access, limited parking etc) are not helpful.

It is important that we raise our voice in this context so that the Council is aware of the implications of the proposed changes on our school community. We would appreciate it if you could take the time to provide specific feedback to the City of Adelaide. Click here to complete the survey.
