On March 24, the school community gathered for a sod-turning ceremony to mark the beginning of construction on a major new building project.
With enrolments doubling in just one year, the school is laying the groundwork for 12 new classrooms, along with performing arts and science rooms, set to open on November 19.
The sun was shining bright on a pleasant autumn afternoon in Shepparton.
School captains Chloe Raleigh and Armaandeep Singh led the ceremony with speeches and an Acknowledgement of Country, followed by a prayer from Patrick Ryan.
The event also featured a blessing and a speech from AngliSchools chief executive Reverend Peter Laurence, and an address from board chair Lynne Thomson.
City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali also attended.
“These are special moments that deserve a celebration,” Cr Sali said.
All Saints Anglican School principal Jim Laussen was present, alongside Keyystone Building Group general manager Jarrod O’Brien and construction manager Glenn Boyd, representing the company awarded the construction contract.
Since opening with 200 students in 2023, All Saints now welcomes 400, with enrolments expected to reach 600 next year.
The ceremonial turning of the soil was a joint effort, and the event concluded with a moving performance from the school choir, Hope 25.
