Late September saw the grand opening of the new gym and performing arts centre at St Andrew’s School in Walkerville. The facility consists of a multipurpose hall, dance studio, bands space, individual music rooms, change rooms and a number of learning spaces. SPA collaborated with acoustic consultants AECOM to achieve sound quality within the building. The end result is a dynamic, multifunctional facility with a vibrant interior and excellent acoustics.

SPA has been involved in the Linden Park Schools Redevelopment since 2005 and was a proud guest at the official opening of the Schools in November.

The SPA team has had a successful few months of fundraising with the Interior Design team attending the Stylecraft Bowling Fundraiser for breast cancer in October, and the men of the office taking part in Movember, growing moustaches in a bid to raise money for prostate cancer throughout November. Both teams were extremely successful, with our bowling ladies raising the most money in the national competition, and our Moustached men raising an amazing $4777.00!

The SPA Interior Design team won the Gold Award in Stylecraft’s ‘Design A Ginger’ competition for most outstanding gingerbread house. All the gingerbread houses in the competition were donated to Meals on Wheels.

As another busy year comes to a close, the SPA team wishes everyone a wonderful and safe festive season! Stay tuned for more SPA news in the New Year.
