St. Mary鈥檚 Anglican Girls鈥� School has redefined creative education with its new Arts Centre 鈥� a transformative space designed to inspire creativity and innovation. This state-of-the-art facility brings together Visual Arts & Design, Media, and Materials & Technology (Textiles) under one roof, offering students high quality flexible learning environments tailored for collaboration, exploration and cross-pollination of program, ideas and creative free will.
Nestled in the southern corner of the campus, the three-storey building seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, offering expansive views of playing fields and tree lines. Sustainability is at the heart of the design, with natural light-filled spaces, ventilation, water-efficient fixtures, and durable, eco-friendly materials.
The Arts Centre is more than just a learning hub; it includes multipurpose spaces for exhibitions and events, fostering community engagement and enhancing the school鈥檚 cultural footprint. It reflects St. Mary鈥檚 commitment to nurturing talent, fostering creativity, and building meaningful connections with the wider community.
The new Creative Arts and Design Centre has transformed the way that our students create, collaborate and express themselves. Purpose-built spaces for visual arts, design, media and textiles empower them to take creative risks and refine their talents in an inspiring environment. With industry-standard facilities, students gain hands-on experience that mirrors professional settings. The centre fosters a strong sense of belonging, ensuring every student feels valued. More than just a building, it stands as a legacy of innovation, inspiring the next generation of artists, designers and media professionals to dream big and push creative boundaries.
