New campus on show

It has been ‘all systems go’ for Horsham’s Holy Trinity Lutheran College, which opened its doors to families and visitors on Sunday.

The open day provided an opportunity to showcase both students’ talents and the new senior campus, where the school’s first year-12 students started classes this term.

Principal Daniel Weller said the expansion was stage one of

the school’s new state-of-theart facilities, which included general learning areas, tutorial rooms and an agora.

He said flexible learning spaces and features such as standing desks would help accommodate different students’ learning styles in the future.

“This means we can provide students with the opportunity to move in the directions they want to go, be it VCE, VCAL or VET studies,” he said.

“We know students in years 10, 11 and 12 tend to go off into smaller groups and start working on their own.

“This expansion provides the flexibility and agile learning spaces that allow them to do this.”

Stage two of the expansion will include installation of additional labs, a sports science area and a second gymnasium.

Mr Weller said the space would be ideal to provide students with greater learning opportunities and development support.

The college’s first year nine and 10 industry students also used the open day to run a market, demonstrating their small business concepts.

Students ‘brought to life’ their designs, showcasing hand-made products as part of their classroom exploration of the world of industry and production.
