This ambitious project includes the construction of two new, linked buildings.
The first, built along the Dequetteville Terrace frontage, will house Reception to Year 3 students in a two-story building. The second, will be a new building housing the front office and administration, staff facilities, allied health and additional gathering and general learning areas to be used by all boys from Reception to Year 6.
The upper levels will seamlessly connect with the existing
buildings through a series of air bridges creating a central outdoor play and learning space.
Deputy Headmaster and Head of the Preparatory School, Mr Jon Gelsthorpe said, “our new facilities, which will open in 2026, are intentionally designed for the learning needs of boys. Our learning areas are spacious and designed for hands-on activities and our outdoor spaces will offer a multitude of active play spaces that will support our boys’ fine and gross motor development.”
“Our planning process included close consultation with staff, students and parents to ensure the finished facilities meet the practical teaching needs of the College as well as incorporating fun and inspiring elements to engage our boys in their learning and play.
“The Preparatory School campus redevelopment will ensure we are prepared to cater and adapt to the teaching and learning needs of future generations of students at Prince Alfred College,” Mr Gelsthorpe said.
