We are delighted to announce that the first concrete slab pour has been completed at the North Gungahlin High School, ACT.

Zone One requires over 350 cubic metres of concrete to create the slab. The largest part of this installation involved over 220 cubic metres being poured, around some very unfavourable weather.

The North Gungahlin region has seen unprecedented rainy conditions compared to what experts predicted for the end of 2023. The team had prepared the slab prior to the 220 cubic metre pour, and then a major storm front hit. Unperturbed, and determined to ensure the program was on track, the Hindmarsh Project team rallied on the weekend and came in to tidy up the site and clear the water and blown in debris from the area.

Jemma Butt, Project Manager, North Gungahlin High School said, “I am immensely proud of the team for coming together and giving up their personal time to ensure the project hits these key milestones. From our subcontractors to our suppliers and consultants, everyone involved in the North Gungahlin High School is committed to delivering an exceptional educational facility for the local community and the ACT Education Directorate.”

Margaret Hendry School Expansion

We are delighted to share that the Margaret Hendry School Expansion (MHSE) has been completed!

The expansion can accommodate up to 600 additional Kindergarten to year 6 students, meaning the growing number of local children can join the Margaret Hendry School community.

The expansion includes a new, two-level learning space, an outdoor learning and play area, a new community hub, two new carparks and a bike enclosure. Many of these facilities will be made available for community use.

Working in close collaboration with ACT Education Directorate, our suppliers, subcontractors and consultants, we think the new facilities look incredible! Hindmarsh would like to thank everyone involved for their hard-work and dedication – only by focusing on safety and attention to detail at each stage of the build, can projects of this quality come to life. It has been a pleasure delivering this exceptional school expansion for the local community.

Students and staff have been transitioning into the new learning environment and exploring the general and specialist spaces including food technology, and Science Technology Engineering Art and Maths (STEAM).

The Hindmarsh project team is now focussed on delivering the new North Gungahlin High School and are eager to showcase their skills and deliver another outstanding educational facility for the ACT Government.
