ACC principal Terry Harding said the new buildings would not only provide staff and students with the much-needed extra space.
“It will also provide students with greater diversity in educational experiences,” Dr Harding said.

“Also, the Victorian Independent Schools Block Grant Authority has been very helpful in both allocating this funding and guiding us through this process.
“Our students have been very excited about their new classrooms.
“They have documented the whole process as a media project, starting from the original soil testing, to the recent installation of the units.”
The new buildings are being serviced by local contractors, so they will be ready for classes in Term 4.
