BCE is proud to celebrate two major infrastructure milestones that reflect our commitment to delivering contemporary, sustainable and future-ready learning environments.
At Good Samaritan Catholic College Bli Bli, a new Senior Learning Centre marks the completion of Stage 4 infrastructure works known as Q Block.
Good Samaritan Catholic College Principal, Lee Elvy said this purpose-built space was designed to support senior students with flexible, future-focused learning.
“Every flexible space, every connected walkway, every moment in the ‘Departure Lounge’ is designed to help our senior students take confident steps beyond school,” Lee said.
The ‘Departure Lounge’ is a dedicated space for senior students to study, connect with pastoral leaders, and access online learning through BCE’s Fisher One Online Learning offering.
“Innovation in education means meeting students where they are and guiding them to where they’re going.”
“We’re not just building facilities, we’re building pathways. Stage 5 will open doors to Allied Health careers, showing our students that their future isn’t just imagined, it’s being built right here,” he said.
“Q Block, and our partnership with The University of the Sunshine Coast, are powerful reminders that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door, it continues into life.”
Trinity College Beenleigh unveiled its Hermitage Design Hub.
Trinity College Beenleigh Principal, Allison Elcoate said the College is well-known for its specialised curriculum and vocational education pathways.
“Our staff are committed to embracing the diverse talents of each of our students,” Allison said.
“The La Valla Trade Training Centre already provides state-of-the-art facilities that prepare students for career success.”
“The new Hermitage Design Hub brings together creativity, innovation and hands-on learning to empower students to explore, design and lead,” she said.
The Hub also honours the Marist value of love of work, while paying tribute to Marcellin Champagnat, who built the original Hermitage to house the first Marist brothers and priests.
“His legacy of resilience, purpose and faith lives on in this new space, which is designed to meet the challenges of today while staying rooted in tradition.,” Allison said.
These developments go beyond bricks and mortar - they represent thoughtful investment in spaces that adapt to the evolving needs of learners and educators alike.
