Expanding Mount Carmel College to expand minds.

The College has a clear and cost-effective plan for the future of the school for the next 50 years.  This initiative sets a strong foundation for the College to continue delivery of high quality, modern education for all young women across the Greater Hobart region.

  • There is a clear progression from the Early Years through primary to secondary  school.
  • The campus is cohesively connected via a safe and accessible pedestrian system.
  • The Student Centre & shared facilities are located at the ‘Heart’ of the school.
  • Years 7 to 10 have Nelson Road frontage avoiding busy Sandy Bay Road access.
  • The Multi-purpose venue (gymnasium, auditorium, performance space) can be designed to open into the Chapel and will be sized for full school events.
  • Lower height buildings significantly reduce building costs and increase aesthetic appeal.
  • Increased usage of the existing buildings, reducing disruption, and lowering costs
  • New buildings can be terraced relating to the site topography.
  • The larger site allows for orderly staged implementation of plan.
  • Additional car parking will be available to comply with state planning regulations.
  • Service vehicles and an under-croft workshop will have street access from Nelson Road.
  • The existing tennis courts and other safe and protected green spaces will be retained and expanded.

Building Fund – Supporting capital projects to build on our strong foundations.

Mount Carmel College continues to be a strong and vibrant community, thriving for over 170 years. One of the fundamental strengths of Mount Carmel is the highly engaged and passionate community of parents and friends, past parents and alumni who have, over the years, contributed significantly to ensure that our College continues to develop. This support has assisted the College in financing new building projects and the upgrading of facilities.

As Mount Carmel continues to evolve, facilities play a pivotal role in the delivery of first-class learning experiences. Inspiring learning spaces and facilities and multi-purpose communal areas need to be created, maintained and improved. Community philanthropic support ensures the realisation of future projects.

Donating to the Building Fund

We continue to be firmly committed to providing a comprehensive Catholic education of exceptional quality for our students and while school fees cover the day-to-day expenses of education, the College Building Fund supports the continued maintenance, restoration and future development of our College buildings and property for future generations.
