Innovation Centre & Library

Built for the 21st Century

The Innovation Centre is designed to house Year 5 and 6 students in a flexible and dynamic environment. Classroom space allows for children to move from whole class to personal learning in a seamless way. The classrooms are designed especially for use of laptops and the latest technology.

It offers a contemporary science facility supported by extensive resources and its own specialist Science teacher.

It also features an open forum which is ideal for public speaking, IT presentations, and music and drama performances.

The Innovation Centre signals the beginning of the Middle Years at Ivanhoe Grammar School and the transition from primary to secondary schools.

The Marjorie Gregory Library

The Library at Buckley House is a state-of-the-art, two storey facility with a mezzanine; it is a bright and welcoming learning environment. A vast collection of picture fiction, fiction and non-fiction texts are available for student borrowing, including latest releases and the classics.

The library collection is housed on the ground floor and a teaching area, video conference room and substantial storage space is upstairs, all of which link seamlessly with the Innovation Centre and the Years 5 and 6 classrooms.

Lessons include information literacy, library skills, author and genre studies. Students also enjoy daily lunchtime activities in the library.
