CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING FRAMEWORK
2010 to 2014

Updated: February 2010

1.      STRUCTURE OF CLASSES
1.1.   Overview
Trinity College provides education for boys from Years 4 to 12. In the Junior school there are two classes in each of Year 4, 5 and 6.   In the Secondary School there will eventually be six streams in Years 7-12. In 2009 there were only four streams of Year 7 students however this increased to five classes of Year 8 Students in 2010. This group of students will remain a five stream group as they move through the College.
The College makes provision in its enrolment strategy (mainly in the Secondary School) for students with mild to moderate disabilities.
The College also makes provision for the enrolment of students of Aboriginal and Torres Strait background on a scholarship basis. The aim is to have 3% of our student population being Indigenous students (~36 students) as this broadly represents the demographics of society.

5.4.   Comment

The Secondary School has a good range of teaching facilities; however the required number of teaching classrooms is below our requirements.  Also the conditions of some rooms require attention, especially the Chemistry and Biology Laboratories in the Senior Block. 

Music teaching facilities are spread throughout the College and need to be rationalized and improved. Music tuition rooms in the Administration Block are not soundproofed.

Concern has been expressed at the lack of drama teaching and drama facilities. The idea of developing a Performing Arts Centre for the College is a long term goal.

Administration, office, storage and interview room facilities are quite inadequate and need to be addressed in the near future.

Gibney Hall was air-conditioned in early 2007 however there are still aspects including the stage, sound system, lighting and curtains which need upgrading. The Kenny Lecture Theatre and the College Honour Boards also need urgent upgrading.

The Chapel has been undergoing refurbishment and should be completed by the end of year 2011.

6.      PRIORITY CAPITAL NEEDS
The following areas are those considered priorities.

6.1  Cultural Centre – consisting of Art Rooms, Administration Offices, Music Facilities and Campus Ministry Offices
Estimated cost:      $12 million
Funding source:    From CDF
Timeline:              2007-2008 planning – construction in 2009/2010

6.1A   Music Tuition Facilities
Currently, music teaching facilities are spread throughout the school at four different locations, with senior students being taught music - both instrumental and class music - in the Administration Block.
The new Cultural Centre will address the provision of adequate music facilities for tuition and performance.

 6.1B Administration Facilities
Currently the Heads of School are housed in temporary accommodation (arrived on site in 2000), plans to relocate them into better facilities will be incorporated into the new Building (Cultural Centre).
The Staff room is totally inadequate for our needs – with a staff of 160 FTE the current space of 180 m2 is not suitable to allow the staff to gather together.  A new staff room will be incorporated into the new Building (Cultural Centre), included with this will be new bathroom facilities which are currently inadequate for our needs.
The College does not have a suitable interview room and this will be addressed when the Cultural Centre is built and movement of personnel occurs (see section 7.4).

6.1C  Art Facilities
Currently our Junior School and Senior School Art rooms are a considerable distance apart – building two new art rooms side by side will allow for the much more efficient use of staff and resources.  Consequently two new Art rooms will be incorporated into the new Building (Cultural Centre).

6.1D  Campus Ministry Offices
With the expansion of Campus Ministry, purpose built offices as well as a meeting area will be incorporated into the new Cultural Centre.

6.2 Renovations to Gibney Hall
In conjunction with the construction of the Cultural Centre, we will need to upgrade the Stage & Undercroft area of Gibney Hall. This was determined to be a better alternative than trying to replicate these facilities in the new building. Along with this renovation will be the need to renovate the College Canteen to incorporate a self-serve model. Renovations will also include the kitchen and the current Junior School Music room into a chair/desk store.
Estimated Cost:      $1,000,000
Funding Source:     CDF/Recurrent Income
Timeline:               2009/2010

6.3 Undercover Assembly Area
Due to the size of the school we need to have all major assemblies and liturgies in the open (currently we use the Courtyard of S Block).  Whilst the trees give us some protection a purpose built undercover area will have the effect of providing cover for these assemblies & liturgies and for the students during their break times. We plan to use the space between the new Cultural Centre and the current B Block.
Estimated Cost:    $400,000            
Funding Source:    CDF
Timeline:              2010

6.4 Extending Library Wing around to Senior Block
With the increase in student numbers the Secondary Library is inadequate – this needs to be extended.  Also with more secondary students, the College needs to increase toilet and change room facilities. A building is needed which connects the current library with the senior block (incorporating an extended library on the first floor and changerooms/toilets underneath) – a walkway incorporated into this building will take some pressure off the current raised walkway.  Hopefully the design would still allow a view through to the River so that we do not feel too ‘hemmed’ in. This building will include additional classrooms and a Science faculty room.
Estimated Cost:        $ 3,500,000
Funding Source:       Federal government P21 Money/Recurrent                               Budget
Timeline:                 2009/2010

6.5 Modernise the Science Laboratories in the Senior Block
Our Senior School Science Block Laboratories are essentially in the same state as when they were constructed in the mid 70’s and urgent renovation is required.  In order to construct State of the Art Science Laboratories our Science Staff will visit other schools and then submit concept plans.
Estimated Cost:     $800,000
Funding Source:    Capital Income
Timeline:              December 2010 (Chemistry and Biology Lab)

6.6 Walkway between the Administration Building and B Block
Providing a walkway (Multilevel) to link the administration block with ‘B’ Block will be essential especially as the majority of teaching staff will have their work spaces in this building by the end of 2010.

Estimated Cost:     $500,000
Funding Source:    Capital Income
Timeline:              2010

6.7 New Rowing Shed
Currently our Rowing Shed is located within the teaching envelope of the school and is too small for our requirements – a number of ‘shells’ and chase boats are stored outside. If the Board manages to obtain land from EPRA to the North of the school then a new rowing shed with Change room facilities will be constructed and the current Rowing Facility to be turned into Classrooms and Learning Spaces. The top floor of the new Rowing Shed would lend itself as a function/retreat centre and a display area for Memorabilia.

Estimated Cost:     $1,500,000
Funding Source:    Capital Income/Fundraising
Timeline:              To be determined

6.8 Extended Gymnasium
Currently our Gymnasium is undersized – we need to double the size so that two basketball games or four volleyball games can occur simultaneously – the enrolment of Year 7 students into the secondary school has put greater demand on our Sporting facilities. Perhaps the design will allow for better ventilation and views to the river.

Estimated Cost:     $ 3,000,000
Funding Source:    Capital Income
Timeline:              Planning in 2011/Construction in 2013

6.9   Waterford Clubrooms
The Trinity Old Boys Association (TOBA) is investigating the possibility of extending the Waterford Change rooms by adding a second storey to the existing facility.  This would provide a function centre with kitchen, toilet facilities and viewing verandas.
Estimated cost:     $1,000,000
Funding source:    Fundraising by TOBA
Timeline:             To be determined

7.      UPGRADING NEEDS

A number of Major maintenance and Upgrading projects have been identified over a period of time at the College – these are listed below.

7.1     2010 PROJECTS

7.1.1  College Honour Boards
A committee has been working on this project for 12 months to try to honour students from the beginning of the College history (1894).

Estimated Cost:     $50,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income & Donations
Timeline:               2010

Projects to occur following completion of the new Cultural Centre (Semester 2, 2010)

7.1.2 Library Renovations
The relocation of the Careers and VET into the Cultural Centre will allow us to extend the library into space previously occupied by these offices – with the enrolment of Year 7’s this extra room is essential.

Estimated Cost:     $50,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              Semester 2, 2010.

7.1.3  Convert current Music Rooms into Staff Studies and current Staff Studies into Classrooms
Construct new staff studies in the vacated Staff Room and Music rooms that are in the main Administration Block. Also redevelop the existing staff studies rooms into four classrooms.

Estimated Cost:        $100,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 Semester 2, 2010.

7.1.4 Renovation of Current Administration Building and Board Room
With the provision of a new Board/meeting room in the new building we will take the opportunity to revamp the current Board room into the Principal’s Office (plus PA Office).  This will allow use of rooms in the current ground floor Administration to be converted into a better reception area and interview rooms – with the majority of our staff located upstairs this will be imperative.

Estimated Cost:        $180,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 Semester 2, 2010

7.1.5 Convert:   current Senior School Art Room into GPLA
                          current Campus Ministry into GPLA
                          current Junior School Art Room into new                           D&T room
With the provision of an art room in the new Cultural centre the existing art room can be converted into a GPLA. The current campus ministry room will need to be returned back into a GPLA and the Junior School art room will be included as part of the D&T centre.

Estimated Cost:        $25,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 Semester 2, 2010

7.1.6  Renovate Student Services
The Student Services Office is currently inadequate and will need to be reviewed, as well as the size and location of the College sick bay.  A decision may be made to centralise student services with the main reception and use current Student Services as the Vice Principal’s office.

Estimated Cost:     $50,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              Semester 2, 2010.

7.1.7  Relocate current Demountables to Camp Kelly (Dwellingup)
A decision was made to buy the demountables needed for the increase in student numbers with the understanding that they will be relocated to Dwellingup to be used at Camp Kelly. Relocation will also involve site works and Electricity connections.

Estimated Cost:        $ 150,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 Christmas 2010

7.1.8  Conversion of Junior School Staffroom into Activity Area

With the building of the new staff room, an opportunity presents itself to convert the current JS Staffroom into a wet area – allowing some of the more “messy” classroom activities to occur out of the classrooms.

Estimated Cost:     $ 5,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              To be determined

7.2                   Projects to occur when development of the new Road (between Trinity and the WACA) occurs

7.2.1  Relocate Athletics facilities
With the proposed road going through our long jump and triple jump pits, these will have to be relocated.

Estimated Cost:     $ 30,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              To be determined

7.2.2  Perimeter Fencing – new road
Whilst significant portions of our property are well fenced, a number of areas still need to be fenced using the “Centenary Fencing” which exists along Trinity Avenue and Nelson Crescent – the new road will see the need for this to occur in order for our students that “play” on Mann Oval to be safe. This will need to occur in conjunction with the development of the road.

Estimated Cost:        $ 200,000
Funding Source:       EPRA
Timeline:                 To be determined

7.2.3  Perimeter Fencing – new land
Whilst significant portions of our property are well fenced, a number of areas still need to be fenced using the “Centenary Fencing” which exists along Trinity Avenue and Nelson Crescent – should we gain access to the land on our Northern boundary this will need to be fenced to make it safe for our boys.

Estimated Cost:     $ 200,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              2010/2011

7.3     Other Projects

7.3.1  Provision of an extra Science Laboratory
Whilst the College has 7 Science Labs, the increased student enrolments (with Year 7 students now being part of the Secondary School) necessitates the need for another Science Laboratory – a conversion of one of the classrooms (similar to S118) into a Science Lab will assist in the delivery of a first class Science education to our students.

Estimated Cost:        $ 200,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 Christmas 2010

7.3.2  Improve Kitchenette facilities in Foley Centre
Currently the upstairs kitchenette needs some modification –
including better storage, improved hot water, a boiling point, and a screen to block this area from the classroom

Estimated Cost:        $ 15,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 2010/2011

7.3.3  Improve Waterford Clubrooms and Entrance Statements
Currently the Waterford Clubrooms need some improvement including – brick-paving, better storage, new carpet and painting. Improved signage both at the corner of Elderfield and Manning Rd and at the entrance is needed.

Estimated Cost:        $ 25,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 2010/2011

7.3.4  Foley Centre – Gym Floor
Every ten years the floor of the Gym should be cut back and re sealed and lines repainted for the various sports.

Estimated Cost:        $ 20,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 2010/2011

7.3.5  Re surface Outside Tennis/Basketball Courts
Currently our outside courts are used for tennis training and basketball training and games. Roots from nearby trees are damaging the court surface – the courts will need to be repaired and relined.

Estimated Cost:          $60,000
Funding Source:         Recurrent Income
Timeline:                   2010/2011

7.3.6  Refurbish the Pavilion Function Room and Seating
Due to the long narrow shape of the function room at the top of the Pavilion it is of limited use. Moving the front wall out to the edge of the top step will increase the size of the room by 1.5m making it a much more useable space. Repair of the seating and backing boards is lso needed

Estimated Cost:          $50,000 
Funding Source:         Recurrent Income
Timeline:                   2010/2011

7.3.7  Upgrade to Camp Kelly (Dwellingup)
            Improved kitchen facilities, outdoor areas and meeting rooms as well as walkways between buildings.

Estimated Cost:        $ 50,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 2010/2011

7.3.8  Replace the roof and ceiling the Chapel
The original roof (1962) is showing signs of needing replacement.  Although temporary repairs have been undertaken recently, within the next two years the entire roof and the Vermiculite ceiling will need to be replaced.

Estimated Cost:     $250,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              2011

7.3.9  Renovate the Classrooms in the “A” Block
In order to complete the refurbishment of all classrooms, the remaining classrooms in A Block will be refurbished.  This will not include the classrooms that will be refurbished due to the current Staff Studies begin converted back to GPLAs.

Estimated Cost:        $200,000
Funding Source:       Capital Expenditure
Timeline:                 2011

7.3.10  Improve IT Support facilities
With the growth of  ICT it is necessary for the College to have better planned ICT Support facilities and office space – especially for our IT staff and for interaction/support of staff and students.  This may be achieved through rationalisation of current Computer rooms or the development of purpose built facilities in the extension of the library around to S block.

Estimated Cost:        $ 100,000 (conversion)/$300,000 for new
                              facility
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 2011

7.3.11 Renovate the Classrooms in the Junior School
In order to ensure that all classrooms are renovated on a cyclic timetable, it will be necessary to renovate the Classrooms in the Junior School.
 
Estimated Cost:        $180,000
Funding Source:       Capital Expenditure
Timeline:                 2012

7.3.12  Removing the stairs in Tracey Centre
            Currently the stairs are in the middle of the undercover space, taking up very valuable undercover area. Demolishing or relocating  these will be much better use of space.

Estimated Cost:     $ 150,000
Funding Source:    Recurrent Income
Timeline:              To be determined

7.3.13  Perimeter Fencing

Whilst significant portions of our property are well fenced, a number of areas still need to be fenced using the “Centenary Fencing” especially the section of our property that runs along the river from the rowing gates around to the basketball courts. Timing will be dependent on future decisions made by EPRA.

Estimated Cost:        $ 200,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 To be determined

7.3.14  Renovation of Kenny Lecture theatre

This lecture theatre is used as overflow for Gibney Hall and with our increased numbers is now of vital importance. Seating, Lighting and Technology needs to be upgraded.

Estimated Cost:        $ 150,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 To be determined

7.3.15  Air-conditioning of the Chapel
Many aspects of our Chapel have been upgraded over the last two years, however the Chapel is very hot in summer with little air movement .  Air-conditioning this facility will be a wonderful addition to the Liturgical Life of the College.

Estimated Cost:        $ 70,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 To be determined

7.3.16 Locker Areas
There exists a need to find suitable areas to locate student lockers. Due to the need to provide “half” size lockers (as opposed to just ‘book’ lockers) for students’ blazers, sport gear and extra bags these lockers need extra under cover space. Some locker areas have been identified and suitable shelters need to be erected.

Estimated Cost:        $50,000
Funding Source:       Recurrent Income
Timeline:                 To be determined

7.3.18 Undercover area near front of school (in place of current HOS’s demountable)
Another way of providing undercover area will be to put up a structure where the current HoS’s demountable is located. The area will need to be raised to meet the surrounding areas and either a tensile canopy or hard roofed shelter will need to be erected.  Seating will be provided for lunch times and for periods when students are waiting for parents to pick them up.

Estimated Cost:        $ 100,000
