Facilities
Coburg North has recently undergone a large capital works project which has seen the redevelopment of the school’s specialist facilities and the construction of new administration offices, library and six classrooms.
Work continues on plans to further improve the school’s grounds. The school community is currently developing a grounds master plan through the Buildings and Grounds Sub-Committee and the Playground working party. Within the master plan there will be designated passive and active play areas, a kitchen garden and new chicken coop.
Through the hard work of the Playground working party the school has received a $200,000 grant for an inclusive playground which is due to start construction late in 2020.
