We are incredibly proud to share that our Trades Centre has reached the Practical Completion stage, a significant moment in a project that has been more than three years in the making. 

Final inspections and touch-ups are underway, with handover from Crow Constructions to the school set for Friday 22 August. If all goes to plan, our students will walk through the doors and begin learning in this brilliant new facility at the start of Term 4.

The near completion of this $3.4m project is the culmination of thorough strategic planning, in-depth industry research, collaboration and perseverance from all involved. From receiving the design concepts from AngliSchools CEO, The Reverend Peter Laurence OAM in 2022 to securing crucial grant funding, the journey has brought together the skills, expertise and support of AngliSchools, the AusVISBGA, Tomahawk Property, Crow Constructions and a host of skilled contractors. Every stage has been driven by a shared commitment to delivering something truly special for our students and our community.

It is our vision that the Trades Centre will leave an enduring legacy in our local region. Over time, we believe it will become a place where generations of young people will develop the vital skills needed for skilled trades and future-focused industries. Currently Cobram Anglican Grammar School is the only secondary school in Victoria with industry-standard robotics, technology normally reserved for university students. The centre will also include state of the art laser cutters, water jet cutters, CNC machines and 3D printers. The centre will open doors for current Cobram students to career pathways that are vital to Australia’s future. The possibilities for learning, innovation and growth in this space are truly exciting.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has played a part in this achievement, and we cannot wait to see the first classes in action.
