SCHOOL‘S $12M PROJECT TO TAKE CENTRE STAGE
A CAIRNS school with a reputation for performing arts excellence is about to take centre stage with a new $12.6m facility to help create the stars of tomorrow.
Trinity Bay State School has long been known as a leader in the drama, dance and music realm with its annual
performances drawing large crowds for decades on end.
The Education Department has now revealed artist’s impressions for a new $12.6m performing arts centre complete with performance stage, dance studios, foyer, box office, dressing room and kiosk.
The multi-storey development will also include two drama classrooms,
three music rooms, multimedia room, practice rooms, staff work room, seating, digital equipment, office, amenities and storage rooms.
“Construction is forecast to commence on site during term 1, 2022, and is expected to be completed for term 3, 2023,” a department spokeswoman said.
“The project will be delivered
through the Queensland government’s School Halls Program, and will support about 33 jobs in the local area.
“The Queensland government continues to support growth in the Cairns area by delivering functional, fit-for-purpose facilities that align with modern curriculum learning outcomes,” the spokeswoman said.
