I wanted to update you on the latest news regarding the Wilkinson House redevelopment. This initiative is very important to me, and I’m committed to seeing this vision come to fruition.

Considerable progress has been made on the site. The construction team has been hard at work transforming the space, bringing us closer to a state-of-the-art facility that will serve our students and community for years to come.

I thought you would like to see some photos so far. The final roof structure has been installed, the classrooms are taking shape, and our new central staircase is under construction.

The redevelopment of Wilkinson House is part of our Light Her Path Campaign to help raise $12 million for this project and an additional $8 million to expand our means-tested scholarship program. We are so grateful for the support we have received from the community that has seen us reach more than half our $20 million goal for this campaign.

All contributions will be acknowledged in the state-of-the-art Wilkinson House, and those who have contributed $10,000 or more will be recognised with a personalised brick on the Light Her Path Honour Board. As we approach the final stages of the redevelopment, the opportunity to be acknowledged on the Honour Board will close on 30 March 2025. Please contact our Development Office if you would like to find out more.

The next few months will be busy for Wilkinson House as we work towards completing the roof structure, installing windows, completing the always critical “lock-up” stage, and finalising all furniture and fittings.

We look forward to sharing more milestones on the way to completion of the redevelopment later this year!

Best wishes
