New Arts and Sporting Precinct

New Arts and Sports Precinct

We are excited to share the conceptual plans for our new Arts and Sports Precinct, which were submitted to the City of Mitcham Council in September.

Centred on three main design principles – body, mind and spirit – the new precinct will comprise a performing arts space, a high performance sports centre, communal outdoor spaces and external netball and tennis courts. It will create a sustainable, contemporary, innovative and flexible learning space for students to flourish.

When we announced this project, we revealed that Gleeson Hall will continue to be an important facility for the College. Its function will change with an interior refurbishment, and the new gymnasium to be built beside, with the two to be connected with learning spaces that foster community interactions. Gleeson Hall is historically significant to many of our old scholars and their families, as it was built due to the incredible support of our community. In 1984, plans for a new hall were developed alongside fundraising campaigns run by the parent body to finance the project. Over the next 35 years, Gleeson Hall has served many purposes, and we are delighted that it will be updated to continue to serve our students into the future.

This development will be an exciting new chapter for Mercedes College, presenting superior learning outcomes for students both now and into the future.
