Hindmarsh Construction Australia

Aunty Agnes Shea High School

The Aunty Agnes Shea High School in Taylor is a $94 million new-build project designed to accommodate 800 students from years 7-10, with the capacity for future expansion to 1,100 students. Delivered by Hindmarsh under a GC21 contract, the school places a strong emphasis on safety, sustainability, and functionality for both students and staff. Safety was a top priority throughout the design and construction phases, with the team at Hindmarsh ensuring that all specialised areas met stringent safety standards for ventilation, fire safety, and overall operational safety. With a 14-metre fall, to manage runoff, an advanced drainage system and retaining walls were installed, safety barriers and guardrails were added to prevent falls, and an innovative scaffold wrap was used to shield workers from strong winds and frost during winter. Throughout the project, Hindmarsh collaborated with engineers and experts to ensure the site was both safe and functional, enabling the school to thrive in its elevated location without compromising safety.
