Transforming Learning Spaces at St Rita Catholic Primary School

Phase 1: Demolition and Site Preparation

Executing construction within an active primary school environment requires strict project management. Before structural work began, the site was thoroughly secured and prepped for safe operation.

✓ WHS & Site Isolation: We implemented rigorous Work Health and Safety protocols to isolate work zones from student traffic and campus activities.

✓ Service Disconnection: We managed the safe disconnection of existing electrical and plumbing infrastructure prior to demolition to ensure zero school disruption.

✓ Systematic Strip-Out: Our team safely removed and disposed of all existing outdated joinery, legacy whiteboards, degraded ceiling grids, and worn carpet off-site.

Phase 2: Interior Work, Plumbing, and Installations

Primary classrooms require high-density storage, dedicated wet areas, and a sensory environment that improves student focus. This phase encompassed all major structural, plumbing, and aesthetic upgrades.

✓ Plumbing & Wet Areas: We installed commercial-grade single stainless-steel sink units paired with heavy-duty tapware. These were housed in custom laminate floor units that seamlessly matched newly installed window sills, with our team managing all plumbing reconnects.

✓ Custom Educational Joinery: We site-measured and installed custom-manufactured cabinetry featuring premium laminate finishes, ergonomic bench heights, soft-close hardware, and seamlessly integrated sliding whiteboard systems.

✓ Acoustics & Ceilings: To dampen classroom noise, we installed large-scale, wall-to-wall acoustic pinboards. The outdated drop-ceiling grids were completely removed and replaced with clean, modern plasterboard ceilings alongside precise electrical rewiring.

✓ Finishing Touches: Following detailed patching and preparation, we completed a full repaint of all walls, timber skirtings, doors, frames, and cupboard interiors, before laying down modern, heavy-duty commercial carpet tiles throughout the space.

Phase 3: Final Clean and Handover

The success of a turnkey refurbishment relies on the quality of the final presentation. Following the completion of all interior works, our team conducted a rigorous final site clean to remove all construction dust and debris. The modernised classrooms at St Rita’s Primary School were handed back in pristine condition, ready for immediate use by staff and students.
