Submitted by mericiadmin on November 16, 2017 - 2:17pmBuilding work is progressing very well with the refurbishment to the Auditorium and Science Labs.
We are currently the proud owners of a very large and very deep hole in the auditorium. It is where the platform lift / orchestra pit is being installed, and will also be the means by which we can store chairs in bulk under the stage. This will free up valuable floor-space in the auditorium itself, as well as solve a number of WHS issues in the process.
