THE SCHAVEMAKER CENTRE FOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

"It is vital that we, as a nation, build upon our science and technological capabilities and embrace new ways of thinking. Scientifically literate citizens are better equipped to understand change, apply innovative thinking and problem solving skills in their work lives and be aware of health and environmental issues of relevance to their personal lives."

Ms J Gillick - Head of Frensham

The Schavemaker Centre for Science and Technology is a state-of-the-art facility, opened in October 2003.

Built at a cost of over $3 million, the new centre comprises:

• three science laboratories;
• a research laboratory;
• an information technology centre; with a mezzanine floor for
senior study.

More than 60 computers have been installed and there is ample provision for personal laptop use.

Light and spacious, the centre has been built to complement Clubbe Hall and to expand the area between the two buildings, a focal point for gatherings of parents and students on school occasions.
