Marcellin College principal, Mark Murphy, says the new facilities fit with the school’s educational philosophy.
“At Marcellin we are about developing flexible, independent, resilient and collaborative learners. Young men who not afraid to take risks in their learning, who are not afraid to fail, and who are creative and innovative in their approach,” Murphy says.
“Our new facilities stimulate and encourage these traits through creative architecture and the innovative use of materials, colour, shape, angle and space.”
Mr Murphy believes the new facilities, which emulate some of the developments found in the tertiary educational space, may contribute to students’ preparation for higher education.
“Our students appreciate the maturity of the new spaces they are engaging with and present themselves in kind,” he says.
“The development of the Hermitage project has transformed a restrictive, traditional classroom block into a vibrant, interactive, flexible and mature learning and community space that is sympathetic to the needs of contemporary learners.”
