S. L. Hickman Building
Description
Description
Sir Edward Woodward, Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, unlocked the antique padlock and cut the ribbon to signify the official opening; Mrs Gillian Johnston, daughter of S L Hickman, unveiled the plaque; and the Revd John Simpson, General Superintendent of the Baptist Union of Victoria, dedicated the building.
The two-storey building was constructed on the site of the old Preparatory School playground and became the central Junior School site. The buildings were painstakingly designed by architect Mr Ken Edmonds and the staff of the Junior School under the watchful eye of Mrs Jan Sparkes.
The classrooms accommodated 400 children who revelled in the new spaces with their vibrant colours and other playful finishing touches.
