Jindabyne, NSW – Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) is delighted to announce that its new Curiosity Centre is now open, with students and teachers actively exploring its innovative spaces. Opened on the first day of Term 4, the Curiosity Centre has quickly become a vibrant home to Visual Arts, Design and Technology, Science, and STEAM, alongside general learning spaces and specialist zones.

Situated by the picturesque Lake Jindabyne, at the gateway to the renowned ski fields of the Snowy Mountains, SMGS offers students an unparalleled learning environment. This project, funded in partnership with the NSW Government and Snowy Mountains Grammar School, showcases a variety of cutting-edge facilities designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and future-ready skills. Inside, students and staff are enjoying purpose-built spaces, including areas dedicated to podcasting, robotics, a kiln for ceramic arts, breakout rooms, and more, all seamlessly integrated with the latest educational technologies.

“We are thrilled to provide our school community with such a high-quality facility. This centre offers a beautiful, functional space where students and teachers can engage, learn, and be inspired now and for many years to come,” said Dr Bell, Principal of SMGS.

 

With staff settling into new offices, landscaping underway, and plans to activate the Curiosity Centre’s art gallery later this term for the Curiosity Centre Art Prize, the centre is already becoming a hub of innovation and engagement. The thoughtfully integrated outdoor spaces further enrich the learning environment.

The Curiosity Centre represents a cornerstone in SMGS’s vision for excellence in education, giving students the resources and space to grow as inquisitive, capable learners in a modern, dynamic setting.
