North West Build Latest News

We are committed to keeping you well-informed about the important developments concerning the ongoing North West Build and are excited to announce that we are entering the next significant phase: construction! As this building is on-site, and is large and complex, there will inevitably be some adjustments to our daily routines at the School. We want to bring these changes to your attention so you can be fully prepared. These adjustments are crucial to ensuring our community can operate smoothly and effectively during this period. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we navigate this exciting project stage. 

School Plaques

In preparation for the build, we will be removing and storing the following plaques:

  • Mrs Kathleen Collins (nee Ewens, Patteson 1931)
  • Mrs Noeline Hormann (nee O’Donnell, Kilburn 1952)
  • Mrs Meredyth Sarah AM (nee Woods, Kilburn 1954/55) 
  • Mary Brady Courts
  • The Bowman Gate plaque and gates

Proper handling and storage ensure these valued items, which connect our present and future generations with our shared history, can be integrated back onto our grounds at the completion of the build.

Hallett Road Entrances 

Adjacent the Chapel 
Due to construction at the Hallett Road entrance our main School gate is no longer accessible, with a new entrance adjacent to the Chapel. Please see the below image for reference.   

Ferguson Conservation Park  

National Parks and the Friends of Ferguson Park have been kind enough to agree that our students can use the Ferguson Conservation Park main gate entrance on Hallett Road as an alternative access to the School. This entrance is just south of our ELC. Students and families will follow the path alongside our ELC perimeter entering the School via the tennis courts.

This entrance will also provide our families with an alternative drop off and pick up location (there is a parking lane located here on Hallett Road) to help minimise congestion in our current School car park. 

OSHC Program Update 

St Peter’s Girls’ Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) program is now operating from two locations in the Main Building.

  • Junior School Breakout Activity Space
