New Year 11 and 12 Hub Emerging at GLC Armstrong Creek

Monday 24 July was an exciting day at Geelong Lutheran College Armstrong Creek as the first modules of the new Year 11 & 12 Hub, Ngarrwa, arrived on site.

The framework of the new building, consisting of 67 modules, had been constructed by King Lake Modular Systems, before being trucked in sections to our campus. The internal and external fit has now commenced. The Wadawurrung name Ngarrwa (meaning knowledge) was chosen by the College Board from a range of options.

Ngarrwa will be an outstanding facility for our senior Secondary School students and responds to the changing nature of learning and learners. The new building will include 12 General Learning Areas (classrooms), several break out learning spaces, Year 12 Common Room, a tiered amphitheatre-style presentation space, outdoor learning areas, and three classrooms catering for smaller tutorial classes. Operable walls will allow for optimal transformation of learning spaces, enabling multi-use opportunities for our students and the broader community.

We can’t wait until the new building opens for the beginning of the 2024 academic year.
