Senior Learning Precinct

Since the amalgamation of the three founding schools and the consolidation of sites to a single campus in the beautiful native surrounds at Mount Clear, Damascus College has made a long-term ongoing commitment to the provision of high-quality contemporary learning facilities. Through dedicated repurposing and refurbishment of existing facilities, and the construction of new buildings and spaces, the College continues to position itself to meet the challenges of an evolving educational landscape and increasing demand for the Damascus College experience.

In recent years, the College has invested in developing its STEAM educational programs, supported by the rejuvenation of the Genevieve McDonald Science Wing, and new music, ensemble, and tuition spaces, to further allow talented artistic students to flourish.

Damascus is now engaging in the next stage of development, with plans to construct a new Senior Learning Precinct on the original St Martins in the Pines site.

The College has proven that successful student outcomes can follow many paths. The ability of Damascus students to dedicate themselves to their secondary education journey through a choice of educational and vocational avenues is a testament to the increasing number of students embracing their senior years and committing to the attainment of their year 12 certificates.

This new facility will ensure Damascus provides a modern and positive learning environment at all year levels at the College.

In developing the holistic learner, the building is designed to encourage further capacity for independent study, collaborative working spaces, and additional areas for group gathering in connecting our community.

Being able to provide the best possible support to our students in leading them towards their chosen future vocations, this new facility looks to bring together the key functions of careers guidance and VCE and VCEVM coordination into a connected and collaborative Student Services precinct.

While still in plan form, the College is aiming at having this facility in operation for the 2025 school year.
