About the Business
Welcome to Brighton Grammar Wellbeing Centre, a state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance the physical and mental health of boys, staff, parents, and the local Bayside community. Located in Brighton, on New Street, our centre is a point of interest and an establishment that focuses on promoting positive masculinity.
Funded through the generosity of donors, our $900,000 facility has transformed an unused chapel on our school grounds into a modern space dedicated to wellbeing. Commissioned by Featherston after he joined the school in 2014, the centre is the result of Brighton Grammar's three-year program of wellbeing, which is taught to boys aged three to 18. Our school is proud to be the only Victorian boys' school that has implemented such a comprehensive and multifaceted health framework.
At Brighton Grammar Wellbeing Centre, we believe in developing positive masculinity and fostering a positive male culture. Our daily mindfulness practice, along with a range of activities such as yoga, meditation, workshops, and functions, form an integral part of our school-wide wellbeing program. The renovated chapel serves as a focal point for these activities, amplifying their importance in the minds of the boys, staff, and parents.
Designed by Melbourne-based practice ClarkeHopkinsClarke, our centre seamlessly integrates original elements of the building, such as stained glass windows and ceiling beams, with fresh lighting and white walls to create a contemporary aesthetic. The versatile space can accommodate various activities, including assembly, meditation, yoga, massage, workshops, and functions. A central water feature made from the original brass organ pipes adds to the soothing ambience of the space, paying homage to the chapel's history.
Upon entering our Wellbeing Centre, you will immediately sense a shift in disposition and attitude. The design not only ensures high efficacy in terms of usage but also creates an atmosphere that promotes wellness. Just as entering a library brings about a change in behavior and thought, our centre fosters a similar transformative experience.
The positive response from our boys of all ages speaks volumes about the success of our design. The calming environment has been met with great respect and appreciation, allowing individuals to fully embrace the benefits of our Wellbeing Centre.
Brighton Grammar is a leading private boys' school in Melbourne, catering to students from ELC to VCE. We are committed to honoring the connection to Country and paying respect to the Traditional Custodians and Elders of the land on which our school stands.
