Roberts & Co upgrade of Cumberland High School continues

I recently returned to Cumberland High School to capture the latest phase of the impressive upgrade by Roberts Co. This visit marked the completion of the latest phase of the project (there is more to come), with the final extension of classrooms now in place, alongside a brand-new high school building designed to house woodwork, technical studies, and other hands-on learning activities.

A standout addition is the state-of-the-art gymnasium and multi-purpose meeting hall, both built with a clear focus on functionality, light, and space. The architecture and finishes speak to a modern learning environment—one that feels open, inspiring, and well considered.

The transformation of Cumberland High has been remarkable to witness over the course of construction. With handover approaching, it’s easy to imagine how much the students and staff will appreciate their revitalised campus—ready for a new chapter of learning and community.

Roberts & Co upgrades infrastructure at Cumberland High School

A recent commission was to photograph the completion of the latest stage of the development at Cumberland High School, by Roberts & Co. The project has delivered a series of new buildings and classrooms designed to provide state-of-the-art teaching facilities for students and staff.

The contemporary architecture, light-filled spaces, and innovative layouts reflect a strong focus on creating inspiring environments for learning. My aim was to capture the scale and detail of the design, from the expansive communal areas to the thoughtfully planned classrooms.

Projects like this demonstrate how modern educational spaces can foster creativity.  I am always reminded that things weren’t quite so spiffy and high-tech when I was attending my local high school in country Victoria. I could not have imagined how different school life would be in the contemporary setting of young students today –  with computers, internet, social media – all the bells and whistles of current technology. It was certainly a simpler time for me.
