It has been noted as one of the best performing schools in the Australian Capital Territory. It is the sister school of The Affiliated High School of Sichuan University, Chengdu Number 12 Middle School. History Beginnings The idea for the school was conceived in April 1994, when Bishop George Browning invited Ian Heyward, one of the founding members of Gungahlin Anglican Church, to explore the possibility of building an Anglican school in the Gungahlin area. Members of Gungahlin Anglican Church, which, at that time, met as a house church in the premises of Ian and Margaret Heyward, promoted the idea of the school to the local Gungahlin community by letter-box drop and interest meetings. The school opened on 9 February, 1999, with an enrolment of 25 students. The school continues to recognise its historic connection to Gungahlin Anglican Church through an agreement made between its founding Principal, Mr Paul Browning and the Church Rector at the time, Rev. Malcolm Richards. 2000s Over the years, the school has built a number of additional buildings and welcomed a lot more students since its inception. Then in 2009, Not only did Paul Browning retire from his job as principal of Burgmann, and Mr. Steven Bowers replace him, and amount that, the Forde campus opened to the K-2 part of the campus.

Fremantle Technical School

The Fremantle Technical School building, also known as the Fremantle Technical College building, is a two-storey building of red brick construction located at the corner of South Terrace and Essex Street in Fremantle. The building adjoins the single storey former Infants and Girls School, which was built from 1877 to 1878; a small forecourt is formed by the recessed central bay former Infants and Girls School and the technical school building, which terminates the north end of the site. The public school was later transformed into a technical school, in 1902. Hillson Beasley, the chief architect of the Public Works Department of Western Australia, approved the plans for the Fremantle Technical School on 20 July 1912. Planned as the western wing of the old school, the building was estimated to cost £A 5,000, equivalent to A$686,200 in 2022. It has 82 metres (270 ft) of frontage along South Terrace and was made from brick with a local limestone base. It features a Donnybrook plinth and facings, and a roof of Marseilles tiling. Designed to have ten new classrooms each to hold 30 students it provided access to the first floor via a wide stairway opening onto a large landing. Each floor had five classroom with the rooms on the ground floor surrounding a large open hall space. The foundation stone was laid by the then Minister for Education, Thomas Walker, on 31 October 1912. The brick and tile building was built in the Federation Free Style with banded stucco and stone. The official opening of the building was held on 16 July 1913, although classes had been held in some classrooms prior to the event. It was opened by Thomas Walker together with the Mayor of Fremantle, Frederick James McLaren, in attendance. See also List of heritage places in Fremantle References
York Town Hall

York Town Hall is a heritage listed town hall in York, Western Australia, located in Avon Terrace. At the time of its construction, it was claimed to be the largest public hall in Western Australia, with an interior floor space measuring 100 by 50 feet (30 m × 15 m). Constructed in 1911, it is an example of Edwardian opulence. Architecturally, while it may be considered to be in Federation Free Classical style, with its "spectacular potpouri of architectural styles" and its "soaring columns topped with a decorative pediment and above the main entrance, a high semi-circular window in Romanesque manner", its features are so exaggerated that it is more in Victorian Mannerist style. It was designed by Wright, Powell and Cameron (the firm headed by James William Wright). The lobby has a sweeping staircase constructed by local craftsmen from jarrah timber salvaged from the Mechanics Institute building, which had been demolished to make way for the Town Hall. During construction, the last of six large steel pillars in the main section of the hall still had to be secured firmly, but lunchtime came, and the workmen took lunch. During lunch, a willy-willy brought down the unsecured principal and the other five. All had to be completely replaced. The Town Hall was opened on 30 November 1911 by the newly elected Labor Premier John Scaddan. Historian Tony Clack comments: "...the erection of the Town Hall was York's swan song. Two and a half year's later the world was at war and York never recovered the confidence that was expressed in the construction of the Town Hall." The cost of construction was £9,027 for which the Council borrowed £7,000, and for many years, the Council struggled to pay the debt on the loans. It was designed to be large enough to generate income from renting the hall to travelling picture-show men and was utilised as a picture show venue early in its history. In 1926, the Town Hall was condemned by the Public Health Department and was closed down, due to a settling of the foundations. To remedy this, expensive steel reinforcing was introduced to support the walls, and steel braces and ties were installed on the roof trusses. In 1933 at the annual St Patrick’s Ball, in the company of his young companions, at 11:30 pm, a 16 year old Terrance Rowan stood on the railing of the dress circle balcony, overbalanced and crashed to the dance floor some 15 feet (5 m) below. He landed head first and broke his neck, and died early next morning. The clock was installed in 1952 and the building extended up Joaquina Street in 1997, completing the architect's original vision. In the 2000s it was refurbished and renovated, and the stage was renovated in 2019. The building is: permanently on the Register of the National Estate (21 March 1978) classified by the National Trust of Australia (1 November 1976) on the Shire municipal inventory (31 December 1995) permanently on the State Register of Heritage Places (7 February 1997) References

Albert Hall (Australie)

L'Albert Hall est une salle de spectacle située à Canberra, en Australie. Elle est située sur Commonwealth Avenue, entre le pont du Commonwealth et l'Hôtel Canberra dans le quartier de Yarralumla. Présentation La salle a été inaugurée le 10 mars 1928 par le premier ministre, Stanley Bruce. C'est lui qui a choisi le nom de la salle, en expliquant à la cérémonie d'ouverture que son choix avait été fait pour rappeler le Royal Albert Hall de Londres, aussi parce que c'était le premier nom du duc d'York, futur roi George VI et, en outre, qu'il rappelait le prince consort Albert de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha mari de la reine Victoria qui avait proclamé le Commonwealth d'Australie. La salle a été conçue par l'architecte de la Commission de la capitale fédérale John Kirkpatrick, assisté de Robert Casboulte et Henry Rolland. Il est bâti dans le style géorgien. Une porte cochère à l'avant permet aux passagers de descendre de voiture à l'abri de la pluie. La salle n'était pas chauffée dans ses premières années et les clients devaient apporter des tapis, des manteaux épais et des bouteilles d'eau chaude. Les chanteurs devaient effectuer leur tour de chant avec des manteaux de fourrure, jusqu'à ce que le chauffage soit finalement installé après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Avant sa construction, la plus grande salle de spectacle du Territoire de la capitale fédérale était la Chaussée, à Kingston. Jusqu'à l'achèvement du Théâtre de Canberra en 1965, l'Albert Hall était la seule salle de spectacle de Canberra pouvant accueillir plus de 700 personnes en dehors des salles de cinéma. Ces derniers temps, la salle est utilisée le plus souvent le week-end pour différentes ventes de lots de marchandises.
