“Cardijn College is excited to announce the launch of the proposed ‘Marian West’ Capital Development Project, a significant step forward in our commitment to providing exceptional education for our growing student community,” the post read.

“The proposed Stage 1A Capital Development Project will focus on expanding our current 7-12 campus into the vacant land to the west, between Cardijn College Marian and South Adelaide Football Club.

According to the school’s website, the senior learning centre will include learning classrooms, specialty learning areas – science laboratories, food technology, administrative spaces, teacher support areas, student services and associated amenities.

The development also includes a pedestrian bridge link that would connect both the newly built west campus to the east campus.

Cardijn College, which has an annual student fee for years 11-12 of $6,560, has three campuses which include, Galilee at Aldinga, offering Reception to Year 9, Marian at Noarlunga Downs, offering years 7 to 12 and Marcellin at Christies Downs, offering years 10-12.
