School revolution
THE 21st century is about to arrive at the Korumburra Secondary College.
Wonthaggi firm TS Constructions, which is building the Karmai Community Children’s Centre in Korumburra and has remodelled Mirboo North and Leongatha secondary colleges, began demolishing a section of the Korumburra school after all traces of asbestos was removed over the school holidays.
Principal Abigail Graham said the new buildings – valued at up to $6 million – would form the centrepiece of the college, giving it a new heart.
“The college will have a heart versus what we had, which was a hole in the heart,” she said.
The building will have a central atrium, a senior study centre, a service kitchen/canteen, and classrooms for science, metal work, wood work, visual communications, art and food technology.
The building works now underway have required the reorganisation of remaining learning spaces and the deployment of portable classrooms, but the works are expected to be finished within 12 months.
To provide evidence of what Korumburra Secondary College students are producing in the current environment Mrs Graham proudly showed The Star Year 12 artwork.
“This work is amazing!” she enthused.
“Can you imagine what our students will be able to produce in a 21st century learning environment?”
The principal stepped into a Year 12 classroom to commend the students on their work.
Student Liiam Miller said, “It comes down to the quality of the teaching, miss.”
Destruction: TS Constructions has begun the demolition of a major section of Korumburra Secondary College. In its place will rise will be a centre of excellence with few equals anywhere. College principal Abigail Graham is looking forward to the benefits her students will gain from a 21st century learning environment.
