The prestigious Australian Education Awards 2023 have recognised the Tullow Centre at Kildare College as a finalist for the Excellence Award in the category of Innovation in Learning Environment Design.
We are immensely proud, that among the eight contenders, Kildare College is the only South Australian school on the shortlist.
The Tullow Centre, a remarkable $6.4 million flagship project, sets a new standard for all-girls' education.
Through collaboration with leading architects and builders who shared the vision, the Tullow Centre was born—an innovation hub designed to equip students with the skills necessary for the challenges of tomorrow's workplace. The building stands as a testament to innovation, creativity, and construction, with a particular focus on fostering collaboration, communication, and problem-solving abilities among students.
Despite the global pandemic, the Tullow Centre was completed on time and within budget, providing students with a modern facility primed for success. Its progressive programs, state-of-the-art amenities, contemporary design, and commitment to sustainability make it an invaluable asset to the college community.
The evaluation process for this category involved considerations such as consultation and engagement to identify the need for innovation, stakeholder involvement and community consultation in the design process, alignment of the learning environment with pedagogy, change management and implementation strategies during the transition, assessment of the learning environment's effectiveness, and the inclusion of a number of non-traditional subjects.
The winners of the Excellence Award will be announced at a prestigious Gala Dinner event in Sydney, scheduled for August.
