The campus has been designed to capture natural light and use space efficiently to maximise cooling, with a view of the Mundaring Hills.
Year 12 student Devin Carter started pre-primary at the college in 2006.
“Through the years, this college has undergone many changes, and it has been exciting to see this campus develop in front of us,” he said.
“We would have stared in disbelief back then if we could have seen where we would be standing today.”
The project received a $2.75 million loan from the State Government’s Low-Interest Loan Scheme, with a $1.266 million grant from the Australian Government’s Capital Grants Program.
“The features provided in this building are more akin to those which would be found in tertiary level institutions or modern offices,” Kalamunda MLA Matthew Hughes said.
“The integration of technology into the learning spaces at this college ensure that we are embracing the way in which technology can bring people together to generate shared ideas.”
