Project update – hydrotherapy pool

Dear school community,

I have some exciting news to share. Construction is about to begin on the new hydrotherapy pool at our school.

The Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) has appointed a builder to build this project, with construction set to begin in the coming weeks.

This project is being delivered through the Victorian Government’s Hydrotherapy Pools at Specialist Schools Fund.

Hydrotherapy pools can have significant health benefits. Having one on site at their school can make accessing a pool easier for students.

What we’re building
The new building will be located next to our administration building. The project will include:
• A 15-metre hydrotherapy pool, with a depth to 1.5 metres and accessible ramp
• Student and staff toilets, shower/showers and change rooms
• Pool plant room
• External and landscaping works

The construction is expected to be completed in Term 3, 2027.

Where possible, the builders will minimise disruption to usual school days. We will work closely with them to manage disruptions when they are unavoidable.

Design release and site plan
I’m also pleased to share the much-anticipated designs for our project and a site map of the building, which are attached.

I thank you for your ongoing support. Please contact the VSBA if you have specific questions about the construction works. They are more than happy to answer any queries you may have – their details are below.

Kind regards,
Cameron Peverett
Principal
