Learning spaces
We believe teaching is not confined to four walls, which is why we use a range of different spaces to engage students in their learning. Our ongoing building program continues to provide first class modern educational facilities.
St Francis and Clonnard Buildings
The St Francis and Clonard buildings offer multipurpose learning spaces combined with breakout rooms, enabling flexible learning strategies that keep students engaged.
Science laboratories
Students conduct a range of scientific experiments in our six science laboratories. Our labs feature student benches equipped with the latest experimental resources.
Performing Arts Centre
The Performance Arts Centre boasts three specialised music classrooms and a fully equipped performance space. It is housed in the refurbished convent of the Sisters of Our Lady Help of Christians.

A special space for staff and students to reflect and pray in groups or individually. It is named for Iona Abbey, a historic Scottish monastery.

Brauer Hall is the site of many college events, including ceremonies, recitals, community gatherings, and the St Columba’s Art Show.
