Anyone who has followed our campus over the past few years knows that much of what is now a perfectly normal part of our school day once began with a drawing, a conversation or an idea that seemed far too big.
And now we get to watch once again as an idea like that slowly becomes reality.
In the last week of August, building work began on our new multi-purpose hall!
For us, this marks the start of one of the next big projects on our campus – and one we have been looking forward to for a long time.
Why we need more than classrooms
Because our school is growing. It is not only the number of children and buildings that is growing, but also what we want to make possible for our pupils.
For us, our vision of Education for Transformation means not reducing education to reading, writing and maths. Of course we want to give our children an excellent academic foundation. But we equally want to open up spaces where they can develop their personalities, discover talents, be creative, take responsibility and experience community.
Our vision for the new hall
That is exactly the kind of place our new multi-purpose hall is meant to be.
We dream of concerts and school performances where children can show what they have learnt. Of music lessons in which a talent is perhaps discovered that nobody knew about before. Of drama lessons in which children learn to speak in front of others, slip into different roles and stand confidently on a stage.
We picture parents’ evenings and parents’ meetings, workshops and school events. We picture our whole school community coming together to celebrate special moments. And we picture a space that can change again and again – depending on what is needed at the time.
Because that is exactly what it is meant to be: a genuine, modern multi-purpose hall with full technical equipment.
Why this building matters so much
Until now, we have repeatedly come up against the limits of our space at larger events. When many children, staff or parents come together at the same time, we lack a sheltered place that is big enough. As our school grows, this need will become even greater in the coming years.
So the new hall is not just a building for today. It is another step in the long-term development of our campus.
The timetable
The first work began at the end of August. Over the coming months, where there is currently still a building site, a new heart of our campus will take shape step by step.
Our ambitious goal: construction is to be completed by December 2026.
After that, we would like to prepare and equip the hall so that, ideally, it can come into use at the start of the new school year in February 2027.
What we can already see
Looking at the building site today still takes a little imagination, of course. Yet at the same time we already see far more than foundations, walls and a roof.
We see children on a stage. We hear music. We see proud parents at a performance by their children. We see teachers gaining new ways to shape lessons and activities. We see encounter, creativity, community and growth.
And that is exactly what every new building on our campus is about for us: not the walls, but what becomes possible within those walls.
So over the coming months we would like to take you along to the building site again and show you how the hall grows step by step.
We are incredibly grateful to be able to take this next step – and excited about all the stories that will one day be written in this new building.
A building site becomes a space. A space gives rise to possibilities. And from possibilities, change can grow.
