Flexibility to grow

IN ITS third year of operation, Clyde North’s Rivercrest Christian College has officially opened a flexible learning space for its growing cohort of prep students.
The young school and its 65 preps have been utilising the three classrooms and two offices since term one.
La Trobe MP Jason Wood officially opened the space on Wednesday 18 May.
The Australian Government provided $600,000 in funding from the Capital Grants Programme toward the growing school’s facilities.
The college now has 255 students.
Wendy Height from the college said the school community is growing every year and its facilities need to keep pace.
“It was purpose built for our prep students and we need new buildings each year to cater for our growth,” she said.
Mr Wood said the new learning spaces take into account the “latest in education research” and “will see students learn more effectively”.
