Option 1: Create a new state of the art secondary school by merging Griffith High School and Wade High School.
The new Griffith Secondary School would include an investment of up to $25 million to build modern, future-focused teaching and learning spaces to complement refurbished existing facilities.
The new school will be informed by the latest educational research in teaching and learning. A student population of up to 1,500 would mean that students could choose from a broad range of electives and extra-curricular activities.
Teachers would have greater opportunity to teach in their area of speciality and would benefit from having larger staff faculties to foster professional development, collaboration and mentoring.
Option 2: Upgrade Griffith High School and Wade High School
The facilities of Griffith High School and Wade High School would be upgraded and both schools would be required to work together for the benefit of students.
Upgrades across both schools would be valued at $10 million in total.
As both schools currently have spare classrooms there would be no need for major
construction work. Improvements would focus on refurbishing existing spaces. The leadership of both schools would work together to improve opportunities for students and staff. Upgrades would commence in 2018.
