Introduction

Dubbo Christian School has long been a cornerstone of faith-based education in the region, serving students from Preschool to Year 12.

As the school looked toward the future, it sought to create a purpose-driven masterplan that would ensure its facilities continued to support student learning, community engagement, and long-term growth.

Stanton Dahl Architects led a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process, working closely with school leadership, staff, and the wider community to identify existing constraints, opportunities, and aspirations for the campus. Over two days of workshops and discussions, a strategic roadmap was developed to align the school’s facilities with its vision, mission, and evolving educational needs.
