Initial concept plans for the capital works at John Pirie Secondary School for their upgrade have been released.

Plans have been reviewed in line with the transition of year 7 into high school by 2022.

Among the upgrades being considered for John Pirie Secondary School are:

• Extension and refurbishment of the Powerhouse Theatre to provide additional flexible performance and music learning spaces, with improved street presence and public entrance for school performances.
• Construction of two new middle school buildings with flexible general and serviced learning spaces, teacher preparation, withdrawal rooms and storage.
• Refurbished learning spaces to provide an improved inclusive education unit location incorporating a new special options class.
• Landscaping to new and refurbished areas.
• A new car park with disability access parking.
• Demolition of ageing infrastructure.

These plans are subject to further consideration and may change.
