The Katherine Buchan House Renovation
CREATING SPACES WHERE FUTURE STORIES BEGIN
At Columba College, you are part of a community grounded in the Christian gospel and enriched by a Presbyterian tradition that understands education as the formation of the whole person: nurturing wisdom, character, curiosity and a commitment to serving others.
In support of this holistic education, the renovation of Katherine Buchan House is actively transforming an underused former living environment into a central library and learning hub for Year 1 to 13 students.
While construction is underway, we have a direct window of opportunity to come together as a community and fund the internal fit-out. Taking collective ownership of this phase ensures our current students immediately get the modern, fully equipped facility they need, while building a space that serves future generations for years to come.
