An iconic landmark
The Wellbeing Precinct is more than an outdoor recreation, social and study space; it’s a symbol of our commitment to the holistic development of our students.
The design includes a large, covered barbecue pavilion, renovation of the existing tennis/multi-purpose court, and construction of a perimeter fence to enhance the aesthetics of the existing space to meet the needs of students.
This new facility will provide residents and associates with a place for shared health and wellbeing activities within the College, an outdoor study space, and an area for hosting friends from other Colleges for social gatherings.
Historic significance
Celebrate over 110 years of transformative impact and join a lineage of benefactors who have shaped the College’s legacy.

“At Women’s, I have embraced an active and engaged life. I understand the importance for my own health and wellbeing, and the power it has to engage a community.
The Student Club is excited about the Wellbeing Precinct and is pleased to financially support the creation of such a positive environment for young women and the benefits it will bring to our College community. The 2023 and 2024 Student Club has contributed $20,000 towards this capital campaign. I hope you will join us.”
