New Kindergarten Centre opening at International Grammar School

Enrolments are now open for International Grammar School’s new Kindergarten Centre opening in January 2025.

“Come January 2025, IGS will open the doors to a beautiful new Kindergarten Centre, where our youngest students will embark on their educational journey,” the school said.

International Grammar School is a dual campus independent secular coeducational early learning, primary, and secondary day school, located in Ultimo, an inner city suburb of Sydney.

Designed by internationally acclaimed Australian architects BVN, the innovative new Kindergarten Centre in the school’s Wright Building—encompassing Levels 1 and 2 and a new outdoor play space—will be a nurturing haven that inspires curiosity and growth from day one.

“The Kindergarten Centre is one of our ten initiatives from the IGS Strategic Plan Into the World,” Principal Ms Shauna Colnan said.

“It’s part of our action to secure, improve and expand the campus for the benefit of our students. With BVN’s partnership and our community’s spirit, we’re crafting magic together, creating a Kindergarten Centre that will help us facilitate the exciting transformation of Early Childhood Education that is underway at IGS and across Australia.”

BVN’s concept draws inspiration from the site’s rich cultural heritage, honouring the traditional custodians of the land, the Gadigal. Before European settlement, the area featured diverse landscapes, including sandy beaches, salt marshes, and mangrove forests, with the school built over what was once a creek. The design reflects the historical significance of the creek shoreline as a community gathering place.

The new Kindergarten Centre will create an enchanting, safe, and nurturing learning environment for our children’s first year of school.

Generous community donations to the IGS Building Fund support this vital project.
