Kalianna Special School

​Work started on this project in 2015, with initial funding of $1 million provided for planning. A further $14.3 million was allocated over the 2016–17 and 2017–18 State Budgets for construction. Stage 1 and 2 are now complete.

Stage 1 included the major refurbishment of Building A, and redeveloping bus drop-off and school entry areas. As part of the refurbishment, we:

• built a new multi-purpose area and classroom facilities
• created a café space / school hub
• re-purposed the administration area to include kitchen and dining facilities, meeting spaces and reading nooks
• relocated and improved staff facilities.

As part of the Stage 2 works, we:

• created a new classroom block
• refurbished existing classroom blocks
• constructed a new roof for the quadrangle
• built a multi-purpose building.

The classroom blocks each have a combination of flexible learning areas, collaborative meeting spaces with wet areas, and staff resources. Learning areas cater for the school's move towards 'team teaching' and have space for 2 teachers per class. Flexible spaces also allow teachers to better cater for individual student needs.
