St Aidan’s has long been focused on getting students into university, but the new facility is designed to also prepare them to flourish once they are there. The vision is to create a space for Years 11 and 12 that offers lecture-style and tutorial-style delivery, flexible learning zones, individual study spaces and room for visiting academics, artists and industry professionals. It will allow senior students to experience the rhythms and expectations of tertiary learning while still surrounded by the wraparound care of a school community. A LOCAL SCHOOL WITH DEEP COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Although its academic reputation and innovative master plan place St Aidan’s on the radar far beyond its immediate catchment, the school is proudly local in its feel. Located about ten kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, it draws most of its students from within a five-kilometre radius. That neighbourhood identity informs how it engages with the wider community. 49 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 12 ST AIDAN’S ANGLICAN GIRLS’ SCHOOL
