20 June 2022 | Appointment of Building Partner

We are delighted to confirm that after a rigorous tender process, Kennett Builders has been appointed to build our landmark Arts and Sports Precinct.

They will build multiple contemporary spaces that will provide greater learning flexibility where students can flourish: in the new performing arts and indoor sports complexes, on the outdoor netball and tennis courts, and in the community plaza.

The Precinct is due to be completed in 2024 – a fitting milestone for the College’s 70th year.

The support we receive from our families and the wider Mercedes College community is essential to the continued excellence and life of Mercedes College. As the custodians of the College, we have a responsibility to ensure our continued leading educational excellence now and for future generations. To this end, we encourage you to foster the culture of giving at Mercedes College by donating to support learning enrichment for the students of today and tomorrow.
