Inner City South State Secondary College or Inner City South SSC is changing its name. In line with the relocation, expansion and construction of a new state-of-the-art building in Dutton Park, The Department of Education is calling on the community for ideas of a new and official school name.
Name suggestions can be made online through a survey, which will be open until Sunday, the 17th of Nov 2019.
The Department of Education will consider name suggestions that encompass the promotion of location or identify local flora and fauna, Indigenous names, cultural or heritage significance. The name may also have the word “State” in the title.
The construction of Inner City South SSC along Annerley Road started in July 2019. Two large buildings have been demolished to make way for the new structures, whilst 14 other buildings were removed and temporarily relocated in storage facilities to be reused and refurbished for the new facilities.
Once completed, the site will have the following amenities:
- learning oasis
- learning hub
- creative hub
- active park
- outdoor court
- multi-purpose hall
- health and wellbeing hub
- production garden
- pocket park
Inner City South SSC is the first state high school to be built in the area in the last 60 years. Kirsten Ferdinands, formerly of the Murrumba Downs College, will serve as its principal.
Ms Ferdinands recently had a meet and greet with parents and students interested in enrolling for Year 7 at the new school once it opens in 2021.
