Trinity Catholic Primary School in Narre Warren South celebrated the Blessing and official opening of a new library and art room which had created additional learning and collaborative spaces.

Parish Priest Fr. Michael Willemsen officially Blessed and opened the new facilities in April.

He was joined by Paul Velten, director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale, principal Kathryn Pepper along with staff, students, guests, and friends of the school and parish community.

Ms Pepper said the new facilities had a significant impact on the school, creating dynamic and nurturing spaces for teaching and learning.

“The project involved the replacement of an existing demountable with a new building to accommodate a library and teacher resource area, art room, internal toilets, and a new outdoor learning area,” she said.

Mr Velten commended the efforts of the project team, school, and parish community.

“This project has created an inspiring learning environment and added to the excellent standard of teaching and learning offered at Trinity Catholic Primary School,” he said.

“The $1.1 million project was funded via loan funding from the Catholic Development Fund (CDF) and the school community. We are grateful for this support in bringing these facilities to fruition.”
