Project Description
Located in Manly, Stella Maris College is a prestigious school with a proud history and distinctive heritage architecture. Programmed has partnered with the college since 1999, providing consistent care and attention to preserve the historic character of its buildings while ensuring they remain vibrant, functional, and inspiring learning spaces.
The college’s mix of older heritage structures and modern facilities requires a delicate balance—maintaining the timeless aesthetic while refreshing interiors and exteriors to meet contemporary standards. With limited scheduling windows during school breaks, every project must be delivered with precision and efficiency to minimise disruption.
Project Solution
To safeguard the heritage features of Stella Maris, Programmed Property Services implemented a tailored commercial painting and maintenance program designed to unify the new with the old. Classrooms, libraries, halls, offices, and even the college chapel have all been carefully repainted and maintained to honour the school’s identity while enhancing the overall presentation.
A key factor in the success of this long-term partnership is continuity. The same trusted foreman and team from our Sydney office are allocated to the college year after year, providing assurance to staff that projects will be completed on time and to the highest quality. Coordination with other contractors ensures seamless scheduling during narrow maintenance windows, maximising efficiency and minimising downtime.
Project Outcome
The results speak for themselves. Stella Maris College has consistently provided positive feedback, praising the workmanship, attention to detail, and ability to maintain the school’s unique charm. The refreshed facilities not only support a welcoming and inspiring environment for staff and students but also reinforce the pride the college takes in its historic grounds.
For Programmed, the long-standing relationship with Stella Maris College is a point of pride. Returning year after year, the team continues to deliver outcomes that protect the college’s heritage while providing modern functionality—ensuring this iconic institution remains as impressive as the first time they stepped onto the grounds.
