History

Lake Ginninderra College was established in 1987, with John Cope being appointed as founding Principal.[2][3] The college has continued to experience growth even in recent times, with student enrolments up 20% in 2010 on the previous year, and a workforce which now consists of over 65 staff, with 44 of those being teachers.[1]

Australian Institute of Sport Program

University of Canberra Senior Secondary College Lake Ginninderra is the designated college for students in Years 11 and 12 attending the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), consistent with a Memorandum of Understanding between the Australian Sports Commission and the ACT Government.[4] The College provides AIS students with a range of programs to enable completion of their secondary education while training at the Institute.

Campus

The college is located in Belconnen, Canberra. Following its completion in 1987, the unique architecture of the campus gained local recognition, and was awarded the ACT Architecture Merit Award.[5] Daryl Jackson, an internationally renowned Australian architect, also featured the college in an article in which he discussed several of his personal favourite school designs, the thinking, underpinning the designs and what makes them work effectively.[6]

Facilities of the college include a gym, cafeteria, library, theatre and drama studio, dance studio, TV studio, editing booths and four-track sound recording facility. There are six computing laboratories, an IT Skills Centre and a CAD room. The science faculty boasts a Video Microscope, an Atomic Absorption, IR and 4 UV Visible Spectrophotometers.[7] The college was also the first school in Australia to have its own wind tunnel, used in conducting scientific experiments on fluid dynamics and atmospheric conditions.[8]
