St Monica’s embarks on $4m upgrade

- DANIEL BATEMAN

DEMOLITION is underway on the third stage of the redevelopm­ent of St Monica’s College in Cairns.

The $4 million project consists of the demolition of two old buildings and the construc- tion of a new Innovative Learning Environmen­t, built over four storeys, with a combined floor area of about 1500 sqm.

Constructi­on is expected to be completed by early-2020, according to the school’s Parents and Citizens Associatio­n.

The third and final stage of the rebuilding process will complete the 128-year-old college’s capital works master plan.

The school says the project will bring the college into the 21st century, with more highstanda­rd, high-quality classrooms.
