One of Brisbane’s oldest schools, Holy Cross at Wooloowin, is set to receive a major facilities upgrade.

The 135-year-old school will receive a new façade and renovated Prep space, including a play area and general learning areas. The upgrades will also improve and modernise existing facilities.

Holy Cross School Principal Simon Mahaffy said the upgrades would ensure continued growth to accommodate their expanding student population.

“These upgrades are more than just aesthetics – they’re about creating a welcoming and inspiring environment for our students, staff and families,” Mr Mahaffy said.

“Combining state-of-the-art design and technology, the new Prep classrooms will provide a bright, engaging and flexible learning space that supports creativity and collaboration.

“The new play areas will also provide safe, stimulating spaces where our students can explore, grow, and build friendships.

“We are excited to see our learners enjoy these new facilities for years to come.”

The works are expected to begin during the Easter school holidays and conclude at the end of 2025.

Holy Cross School is the oldest Catholic primary school on the north side of Brisbane, established in 1890 by the Sisters of Mercy. For more information, click here.
