The end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 brings along refreshing changes for MacGregor. New plans for greater infrastructure and improved design are causing excitement in the student body. Several aspects are planned for the coming year to reflect the evolution of Macgregor’s pride, culture and, community through the new initiatives and projects.

To facilitate a better welcoming onto school grounds, a renovation to the entrances will be implemented bearing the Macgregor lion to showcase school pride. Improving campus life is also at the core of these renovations allowing for higher morale and comfort, which will be achieved through the development of new facilities. To achieve this, large blocks of the campus have been in the process of renovating for a contemporary garden aesthetic, alongside a planned café and amphitheatre.

Quality of life improvements will also be observed in the sporting scene as a set of four renovated basketball courts will be introduced that better encourage physical health and school pride. Being reached through showcasing the school emblem on each court. Thus, providing a superior competitive environment for athletes and a more communal area during lunch periods.

It is not only are the sporting facilities that are being improved, but so are the cultural. An amphitheatre is being built for the school to stage performances from the acclaimed Music and Arts departments. This new addition enables Macgregor State High to perform not only during recess, but also outside of school hours within the new garden environment.

The central area of the school will also see the addition of seating and natural ambiance through the use of contemporary infrastructure and plants. This aims to produce a modern appeal that is embedded in a comforting ecological surrounding thus creating a calmer and more homely space for students and staff alike that improves learning sustainability and creativity.

Nothing is the same

What I thought, was a lie

A soft fantasy, crushed by reality
