Hindsight - Calvary Christian College


Calvary Christian College Friendship, fun and faith intertwine to form the culture of the Calvary Christian College community in Carbrook, Logan City, providing education for prep to year 12 and a social framework that reaches into their families. Underpinning this culture, is the need to provide the children with facilities that will support their growth and development.

Striking planes, bold hues and clean linear design accentuate the modernity of the design - exciting, innovative and without unnecessary frills and fuss. The interior is finished in Environmental Choice approved products in the form of Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic and Resene Zylone Sheen low sheen acrylic, two of Resene's most popular product lines for their versatility, ease of use and long term good looks.

The exterior proved to be more of a fluid specification. Initially specified in Resene Uracryl 402 the specification was changed to reduce the expected cost to complete the project. After difficulties achieving the same quality result with the substitute product, a comparison of the applied square metre cost revealed a surprising insight. When a product really works during application, the original cost comparison of a litre of paint becomes less important than the applied square metre rate and the specification reverted to the original Resene Uracryl 402 to take advantage of the better brushing and rolling properties as well as the coverage and overall finish properties. The end result is a radiant and durable urethane finish and a project team committed to saying no to compromises in the future.

From humble beginnings in 1984 with a small group of enthusiastic primary school students, parents and teachers in two temporary buildings on a shady hillside of Springwood, Calvary Christian College facilities now reflect the growth and development being nurtured in its students.
