At the heart of the Siena College Master Plan is the desire to foster an integrated learning environment for staff and students; one which will create spaces designed to encourage engagement, promote interaction and collaborative learning, and prioritise wellbeing and educational excellence for all. Late last year, we successfully obtained a planning permit for the College owned properties on Compton Street.

In August this year, we will commence Stage 1 of our refined Master Plan, with the development of the Veritas Precinct.

Veritas means ‘Truth’ and reflects our committed search for truth in its many manifestations: through study, dialogue, contemplation, discernment, enquiry and action for others. The Veritas Precinct will transform the back of four houses in Compton Street, whilst still retaining the character and presentation of the heritage streetscape. The rear of these single dwellings will be transformed into a contemporary space of learning and life. It will include two full size multipurpose courts, several additional learning areas, outdoor landscaping and indigenous plantings – creating much needed green space for our beautiful campus.

The Veritas Precinct development will be completed in mid-2025 and updates will be provided to our community as the project progresses.
