Check out our latest updates on the building and redevelopment of Marnebek School.
Construction Progress, December 2022
The Capital Works Project is bustling with work with the goal of speeding up to completion. Buildings are changing day by day, eager to reach completion to welcome parents & students to visit the school campus in 2023.
We will continue to update the project construction progress in upcoming articles in the near future.
Corrigans Road Campus, October 2022
Progress on the construction of our Corrigans Rd Campus has really started to take shape this term. The bottom level of the Resource Intense Learning building, which will house new classrooms and our Trade Café - a valuable asset that will provide our secondary students a pathway into post school employment.
September saw the concrete walls of the new campus installed ready for construction of the second level, which will house our new STEM, Allied Health, Art and Science learning spaces.
New Holland Drive Campus, October 2022
During this term, construction of two new Learning Neighbourhoods have commenced and the slab has been poured. The Learning Neighbourhood is a new style of learning environment. It is an evolving concept built around collaboration… building, extending networks and prioritising learning horizontally and vertically creating a true sense of engagement. This new build and its classrooms will provide a sensory environment for our students as well as a sense of community within the school.
James Merlino MP Visit, June 16th 2022
The Hon. James Merlino MP, State Member for Monbulk, visited Marnebek for our customary ‘turning of the sod’ or ‘ground-breaking’ ceremony for our upcoming works. It was an honour to have Mr Merlino attend the school and see the newly started works, as well as have the chance to chat with some of our staff and students about the upcoming developments.
Corrigans Road, June 2022
We began works on the Corrigans Rd campus on a Friday, putting up hoarding around the oval area and preparing the site for a future double storey secondary college to be built. The building will be known as the “Learning Neighbourhood”, which will include Resource Intense Learning (RIL) spaces. The RIL facilities will be a huge leap forward in Marnebek’s ability to deliver even better learning and engagement opportunities for students.
New Holland Drive, May 2022
Bright and early on a Monday, our demolition works at the New Holland Drive campus commenced. This included the removal of the junior playground area and a number of corridors, including the Prep corridor, 200s corridor and 300s corridor. These spaces made up the central area of the campus, heralding the prominent redevelopments to come.
New Holland Drive, May 2022
On May 20th, Marnebek kicked off preparations for our new building redevelopments with hoardings (temporary fencing) going up around our construction site on the New Holland Drive campus. This exciting first step was a visual representation of the new changes to come, and saw our students participating by joining in to decorate the hoarding as well. A week later, demolition was able to commence, and plans were well underway.
