Community Hub Project
CREATING OUR FUTURE
We Seek Your Support for this Exciting Project. Every gift makes a difference.
Launceston Grammar will next year celebrate 95 years since the laying of the foundation stone on the Senior Campus at
Mowbray by the Prime Minister, Stanley Bruce. To celebrate this milestone, and to prepare for the future celebration of
175 years of continuous operation in 2021 and 100 years of the Senior Campus at Mowbray in 2024, the School is encouraging
the Launceston Grammar Community to come together to support the Community Hub project, to enable it to be open
for these special future dates.
Thanks to generous donations, as part of the 2016 annual fund campaign, Café 175 has been opened. Students are enjoying the new fresh space, linking to the Gymnasium. Your support is needed to complete the next exciting stages, which will include an open, progressive learning space, a permanent and dynamic facility to display Launceston Grammar’s significant historical assets from the DV Gunn Archives and an open-air deck and viewing verandah, giving uninterrupted views of the main oval.
Cafe 175
Cafe 175 will be extended to offer an informal space for students, staff and visitors to enjoy a vibrant and light-filled cafe and dining experience.
The cafe will include an exhibition space to showcase the work of our current art students and staff. The expanded Cafe 175 will add vibrancy to the heart of the School as a meeting place and function centre for past students, family and friends.
We endeavour to hold important events, including luncheons and festivities, in this modern and bright space.
The Space:
The Space will be a permanent and dynamic facility to showcase the School's significant historical assets. Our School story grows every day of every years. We are custodians of significant memorabilia - items that resonate with individual identity and history. The Community Engagement Team has been working in consultation to past students to ensure the prominent display and legacy of our historical assets.
The Space will provide an alternate place for students to gather, socialise and study throughout the school year. Open and flexible working spaces have been proven to help children collaborate and learn in group setting, yet can be adapted to suit quiet, independent learning when the situation demands.
The Verandah:
A viewing platform will complete the vision, by linking the above dynamic areas with the School's sports fields. The project includes the development of an open air deck and viewing verandah, giving uninterrupted views of the playing field, the wicket and picturesque surrounds, adjoining the refurbished covered seating under the Tom Room Centre alcove.
The Board is now asking for your support to realise the next vision - the Launceston Church Grammar Community Hub, a vital initiative to celebrate another landmark in the history of Australia's longest continually-operating school.
