»ÆÉ«app

Our most recent major campaign raised more than $6m in support of the School’s largest and most ambitious building project in its history – the Shipsters Road Building for Middle School Art, Science, Design and Digital Technology. This impressive facility opened its doors to students in July 2019.

Shipsters Road Building for Middle School Art, Science, Design and Digital Technology

Thanks to the very generous support of the »ÆÉ«app community and more than 800 individual gifts, this project is a true demonstration of what is possible when the community comes together.

Significant gifts to the building include:

• Jin Bridge
  The bridge connecting the King’s Campus with the building
• Game Studio
  Art studio
• The Balnaves Enterprise Hub
  Art enterprise space
• Balnaves Place
  Ground and first floor atrium space
• Opus 722
  Sculpture By Robert Klippel, kindly donated by old scholar Neil Balnaves AO (1962)
