Junior School Capital Development
We are delighted to share with our community the exciting news that the long-awaited refurbishment of the two Junior School Atriums and adjoining classrooms will commence towards the end of this year. The design and development of this stage of the College’s ongoing Capital Development Plan has been years in the making so we are very pleased that it is coming to fruition.
We would like to acknowledge the input of parents, students and staff into the design of the spaces which will fully modernise classrooms and promote the delivery of contemporary and innovative holistic learning opportunities for students. The plan extends to the outside of the buildings with the integration of learning spaces into the landscape to support the notion that ‘learning happens anywhere, anytime’. Students will have the opportunity to therefore experience a continuity of learning wherever they are on the campus.
We would also like to acknowledge College Architects, Munns Sly Moore, for their considerable time and effort in developing Stage 22, along with Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) for their assistance.
The Junior School refurbishment is a considerable undertaking with an envisaged completion date scheduled towards the end of 2027. The build will necessitate certain adjustments to the regular school routines, however, please rest assured that the plans we have in place will support the welfare and ongoing learning of students. Further details of this exciting phase in the College’s history are as follows:
Refurbishment Works to Begin – James Nestor Auditorium
Refurbishment works will commence this week on the James Nestor Auditorium, with an expected completion date in November 2025. This space is being transformed to serve as a temporary learning area for our Year 5 and 6 students while the College undertakes major capital development works at the Junior School.

Stage 22 Capital Development Program – A Two-Year Transformation
This refurbishment is a key early step in our broader Stage 22 Capital Development Program, a two-year initiative that will deliver significant improvements to our Junior School facilities, including:
Senior Atrium refurbishment and enclosure – Commencing December 2025, to be completed by the end of 2026
Junior Atrium refurbishment and enclosure – Commencing end of 2026, to be completed in 2027
During this time, the James Nestor Auditorium will remain the designated learning space for Year 5 and 6 students, ensuring a high-quality, consistent learning environment is maintained.
Parent Information Session and Community Feedback
To ensure families are fully informed, the College will host a Parent Information Session for Junior School families in the coming weeks. This session will provide further details about the refurbishment and the Stage 22 building program, along with an opportunity for parents and caregivers to ask questions and share feedback.
We thank our staff, students, families, and wider community for their ongoing support as we undertake this exciting phase of capital development at Corpus Christi College. This refurbishment is an important milestone for us as a K-12 community. It supports our continued growth and development as an aligned College that strives to create the best possible learning environment for students.
