Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) has lodged a development application to build a 910-student co-ed secondary school in Windsor.
The proposed school, in Grafton St, is slated to open in 2029, and has been designed with students’ futures in mind – blending innovation, sustainability and wellbeing into every aspect of the campus.
BCE Executive Director Sally Towns said the Windsor Inner North Secondary School (WINSS) project was a strategic response to the growing demand for faith-based secondary education in Brisbane’s inner-city region.
“The proposed school is a priority in BCE’s 20-year New School Development Schedule, and will accommodate around 910 students and 113 teaching staff,” Dr Towns said.
The Educational Brief, developed in consultation with key stakeholders, has guided project architect Hayball in creating a comprehensive masterplan that prioritises wellness through central hubs and distributed spaces, as well as targeting 10 sq m of outdoor space per student.
BCE has identified the community benefits the school will provide. These include:
- Offering diverse co-educational Catholic schooling for families
- Supporting South-East Queensland’s growth through critical infrastructure
- Building and enhancing local community and identity
- Providing local employment opportunities
- Enabling flexibility to adapt to future education trends
- Allowing staged delivery to meet evolving staff and student needs.
