Description
Join us for a full-day school facilities tour during the July 2026 school holidays. Hop aboard our bus from the AISWA offices to visit four schools showcasing innovative building projects, including new early childhood centres, gyms, classrooms, and pools. At each stop, you’ll meet with Principals and Business Managers along with infrastructure teams to discover how these developments support each school’s vision, hear about their challenges, and learn practical tips for future builds. Lunch and coffee breaks are included to keep you fuelled throughout the day. Approved schools so far are Carey Baptist College (Forrestdale) and Court Grammar School in Mundijong. Other school locations will be announced soon. Special guest Lisa Robertshaw will join us as the AISWA CGA representative. A condition of attending will be to provide your current WWC endorsement.
