High Performance Centre 

Grand Opening

Friday, 1 November 2024 marked a significant milestone for the College as we officially opened the new McDonald Upton High Performance Centre. The ceremony was honoured by the presence of the Hon. Ben Carroll, Deputy Premier of Victoria, Minister for Education and Minister for Medical Research, who cut the ribbon and declared the facility officially open with College Principal, Dr Michael Davies.

The McDonald Upton High Performance Centre represents an investment in our students' future and highlights our commitment to providing leading educational and athletic resources. We extend our heartfelt thanks to McDonald Upton Real Estate for their generous support, which made this facility a reality. It was a pleasure to hear from Mr Milo Rasinac, Partner at McDonald Upton, who spoke on behalf of the company.

We were also delighted to welcome Mr Andrew Van Meel, a representative of the School Advisory Council, Mr Paul McDonald, Estate Agent at McDonald Upton, and Ms Natasha Zucco, wife of Joe Zucco, a Partner at McDonald Upton and a St Bernard’s Old Collegian, along with other distinguished guests, students, and staff, all of whom joined us to celebrate this remarkable achievement.

The opening of the High Performance Centre enhances our capacity to provide exceptional facilities and training opportunities for our students. We look forward to seeing the incredible achievements and character development that will arise from this new space.
