Master Plan
The Kingswood College Master Plan is the strategic blueprint for the development of our facilities over the next 50 years; creating inspiring, adaptable spaces, from ELC to Year 12, that support teaching, learning and wellbeing at every stage.
Our vision for Kingswood College remains unwavering, and that is to prepare our students for the future with confidence, compassion, and capability. This Master Plan will ensure that while our philosophy will always put people before buildings, the spaces in which we learn, collaborate, and grow will be as inspiring as the education that happens within them.
Over the coming months and years, you will see staged developments designed to align with our educational vision. Each project in the Master Plan will be chosen to deliver maximum benefit to our students, ensuring that every investment supports their growth academically, socially, and emotionally.
We honour our past by investing in our future.
Boldly imagined and purposefully designed, this Master Plan lays the foundation for a legacy of vision, courage, and community.
A centrepiece of the plan is our new Music and Performing Arts Centre, a place that celebrates creativity, excellence, collaboration and the power of expression.
We’re also investing in modern indoor and outdoor sports facilities, spaces that support wellbeing, teamwork, and school spirit.
Our arts precinct will be transformed, giving students the tools and environment to explore their passions and thrive creatively.
Across every year level, learning spaces will be revitalised, purpose-built or reimagined to foster academic excellence and a strong student-teacher connection.

Educational research consistently shows that teacher expertise and school culture have a far greater influence on student success than buildings alone. That said, our physical environment plays a vital role in shaping the experiences of our students and staff, which is why this Master Plan focuses on targeted, meaningful upgrades and new buildings that directly enhance learning, safety, and community connection.
Chrissy Gamble
Principal
Our Master Plan is the result of careful research and consultation. Our consultation period taught us that our current facilities are functional, well-maintained, and fit for purpose. Our facilities now and into the future will enable us to prioritise what matters most: quality teaching, small class sizes, personalised learning, learning and wellbeing, and rich opportunities for every student.
