A Catholic school in Adelaide’s northern suburbs is set to receive a multimillion-dollar facelift after it submitted plans for a new two-storey building project.

The plans for the new building at Catherine McAuley School, in Craigmore, include three classrooms and a wellbeing centre with therapy consultation spaces.

Catherine McAuley School principal Marc Forster said the development came as “over the past three years enrolments … have grown steadily”.

“This has given us the opportunity to further develop our school facilities and enhance the support we provide our community,” Mr Forster said.

The school has more than 460 enrolments from reception to year 6.

The learning areas on the upper floor of the development will be a permanent replacement for temporary transportable classrooms.

The development, which sits on a 1.36ha plot of land, will also include a new student services hub for the school and a dedicated playgroup space.

Mr Forster detailed that its outdoor spaces “are set to become more dynamic and engaging” with a mini amphitheatre, green spaces and “a strong emphasis on native plants”.

“These plans are currently under council review, and we eagerly anticipate advancing the project to the next stage once approved,” he said.

The exact timeline and cost for the project are yet to be revealed.
