Building Master Plan Report: 2024 – 2035

It is with great pleasure that the School shares its Building Master Plan for 2024 – 2035. Following a review and community consultation period, our Strategic Plan 2024 – 2035 identifies a number of short term and longer term projects to deliver improved facilities in a timely and strategic way. DesignInc was engaged by St John’s Grammar in 2023 to prepare this Master Plan Report.

This Report summarises the existing constraints and opportunities of the School sites and buildings. It then sets out a vision and a range of projects that are proposed to meet the school’s need to deliver a high quality, sustainable, integrated teaching and learning environment into the future.
