Master Plan
Planning for the future
The Master Plan contains a number of projects which are being strategically undertaken to improve the school's facilities.
Sacré Cœur has been successful in obtaining a $2.2 million grant through the Federal Government's Building the Education Revolution. These funds will go towards renovating and doubling the size of the Kirby Centre with the provision of a new kitchen and cafeteria in this newly developed area, as well as undertaking the next stage of the School's fire protection plan.
Our success in this funding application is the result of some very long and detailed planning work conducted by the school's Special Projects Committee, led by Mr Peter Pritchard of the School Board, the Building and Projects Committee, led by Mr Eddie McCaig, also of the School Board, and our Deputy Principal (Administration), Ms Wendy Ross.
Work on this project is starting in Term 3 and should be completed for the new school year in 2010.
Foundation - Making the Master Plan a Reality
The Sacré Cœur Foundation has been in existence for five years. During this time, it has made a significant contribution to school development having been supportive of the refurbishment of the school chapel, the external renovation of the historic Brynmawr residence, and the renovation and extension of the Joigny Junior School. Led by alumna (and past parent and current grandparent!) Judith, Lady Boileau, the Foundation Board meets regularly to plan its ongoing support of the school and the co-ordinating of all school fundraising.
The work of the Foundation remains as central and important to future school development as it has been since its establishment. The Kirby Centre works allocated for attention under Building the Education Revolution funding represent only one item in our Master Plan. For example the renovation of our Science laboratories (and indeed the creation of additional science laboratories given our focus on "Girls in Science") remain a high priority for future building development. The Sacré Cœur Foundation will be central to our ability to raise the funds and provide this much needed update and expansion of specialist facilities like Science or indeed facilities for the Performing and Visual Arts; sport; staff and a proposed Early Learning Centre.
