Site Redevelopment
The Academy has been exploring its key differentiators and opportunities to lead in its area of speciality. Fundamentally, Rundle Academy is exploring a new school on the current site with the objectives to:
-
Provide optimal environments for learning and teaching, specific to diagnosed learning disabilities and associated co-occurring diagnosis.
-
Support an increase in student enrolment and associated staff.
-
Provide additional spaces to further engage the community and create a truly inclusive space.
-
Enable the school to fulfill its ambition to become recognized for their excellence in teaching.
Four options were reviewed on the current site. Each option allowed for phasing so the Academy can continue to operate during construction. Three of the options combined new and renovated buildings. The four options are:
Removing the Dorm building, renovating all remaining facilities and building a new building.
Removing the Seminary building, renovating all remaining facilities and building a new building.
Removing all existing building except the gym and building a new facility.
Removing all existing buildings and building a new school.
