The learning spaces at St Columba’s are designed to enhance learning opportunities for our students.
From the latest technology and custom-designed spaces to flexible seating options and adaptable class sizes, students work both independently and as part of a small or large group depending on the task at hand.

We invite you to explore our school facilities and discover what makes St Columba’s a great place for your child.
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.
