Building works are steaming ahead at Crest Education with both Hillcrest Christian College and Rivercrest Christian College having just completed major projects, with more to come in 2022.
Hillcrest Christian College Primary students are enjoying the college’s new, state-of-the-art Multi-Purpose Centre, completed in December 2020. Complete with kitchen, portable stage and integrated sound system, this modern facility will enable primary-aged students to engage in sport and physical activity in all weather conditions ensuring students stay healthy and active.
“This space will shelter us from the hot sun and protect us in winter from the rain and the cold,” says Leanne Dube, Hillcrest Primary Sport Coordinator.
Surrounding the new Multi-Purpose Centre will be a high-quality grass field, which is currently being constructed. Students can look forward to utilising this later this year.
Even during remote learning in 2020, Hillcrest continued to develop its resources an expand its student offerings. Works completed at Hillcrest in 2020 include:
– STEAM precinct
– Art and design gallery
– STEAM exploration centre
– 3D printing space
– IT service desk
– Film and media centre
– Years 5 and 6 block
– Upgrade of ELC playground
This year, Rivercrest Christian College welcomed their Year Two students to their brand new, purpose-built Year Two building.
Further build works commence at Rivercrest Christian College’s Middle Years Campus, with plans of a Performing Arts building and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) building already under way.
This construction builds upon the recent expansion of the Rivercrest Middle Years campus, which recently added four new classrooms and break out spaces for its secondary-aged students. This campus aims to serve Years 6 – 12 students by 2025. Recent works at Rivercrest include:
– New student play courts
– Upgraded entrances
– Additional car parking
What was once a small regional school, Hillcrest Christian College has now grown to become an entire Crest Educational precinct which includes Rivercrest Christian College, Ayr Hill Equestrian Centre, Crest Institute, and Environmental Reserve. Hillcrest Christian College celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
