design team is working from a starting point of “when, not if” the fields flood, ensuring that plant rooms and critical infrastructure are carefully located and protected. The indigenous name Ambiwerra, meaning “girls playing near water,” has taken on a layered significance as St Aidan’s works with consultants and suppliers to create world-class facilities that are honest about their environment and built to thrive in it. Back on the main campus, the school is preparing for another major step: a new senior centre and examination hub. St Aidan’s is awaiting ministerial infrastructure designation approval to repurpose property previously rented out and transform it into a senior learning environment that closely simulates university life. For Toni Riordan, this project is a natural next chapter. 48 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 12
