Camp Hill Primary School, Victoria welcomes new construction

Tuesday, 8 September 2009

At the heritage listed Camp Hill Primary School in Bendigo, Victoria, the community has banded together, relocating five classes in preparation for the construction of a new library and learning neighbourhood.

Camp Hill Primary School – operating continuously on its current site since January 1878 – received $2 million under the Primary Schools for the 21st Century component of the Building the Education Revolution for the new facilities.

School Principal, Ms Leonie Roberts, says teachers have adapted to their new temporary locations during construction. The school will have its portable classrooms replaced with a new library space, fitting neatly into the space available under the school’s heritage elm trees.

“It will be fantastic to have a modern 21st century building on the site which will promote individualised learning and create spaces for innovative teaching,” Ms Roberts said.

“The school and community were thrilled with the news of our building,” Ms Roberts said.
