Santa Sabina College Master Plan

It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child, as does educating them. We are seeking your support to help make our Master Plan a reality and provide our students with the best possible opportunities in life. Our primary and secondary students will be the beneficiaries of this grand vision and we hope you and all of our community can get behind this ambitious and worthwhile plan.

A message from our College Principal, Paulina Skerman sums up her vision for the future of the College:

‘Working alongside the Board of Governance, we consulted widely with our community to develop a Master Plan that will serve the College well into the future. We are very excited that stage one will create space for balance, and contemplation, providing opportunities to disconnect from technology with the construction of a new Sports and Aquatic precinct on the Santa Sabina campus.

‘With a triple court indoor facility and basement car park, the building will have dual functionality for sport and school gatherings to seat up to 2000 people. Separating the Sports Centre from the new Aquatic Centre will be Catherine’s Garden inspired by Catherine of Siena who perceived the way of life and spirituality to be ‘very spacious, gladsome and fragrant, a most delightful garden. Mirroring Dom’s Plot, it will be a relaxing place for our students to gather.

‘A new covered area will be constructed on the Primary campus. It will be a weather-protected area for assembling, circulating down to the oval, with a provision for hopscotch, handball, netball and soccer. The playground area has been conceived as a Rosary Garden in recognition of the journey of prayer and its importance in the Dominican tradition’.

We are now entering into an exciting phase in the life of the College. As we approach 130 years of Dominican education at Santa Sabina it is time to kick start the next period in the life of our school. We need your support, and we welcome your continued commitment to the College.
