LOCAL MPs, students and school officials gathered for a ceremonial ‘turning of the sod’ at the newest development for Rivercrest Christian College in Clyde North.
Member for Bass Brian Paynter and Member for Narre Warren South Judith Grayley were guests at the school to see how the new developments were coming along.
The new buildings at the school include a hub incorporating spaces for visual arts, performing arts, instrumental tuition and a discovery centre and a new administration centre for the Rivercrest Primary Campus.
The arts hub has had its concrete slab poured while the administration centre will undergo major works in the coming months.
Both new buildings have been significantly funded by the current State Government.
The school is underging further development with the addition of a new multi-purpose facility as well as a smaller community hub.
The new-look Rivercrest college is not stopping there though with plans currently being submitted to the Casey Council to update Rivercrest’s master plan for the secondary campus.
“I expect that when MP Paynter and MP Grayley return, they will see further evidence of the transformation of this wonderful IB Christian College,” Executive Principal Geoff Grace said.
Once the full development of the school is completed by year year 2024, the school will be a fully equipped and operation early learning to Year 12 educational institution.
