Commercial electrical work Glenora District High School

Glenora District High School needed reliable commercial electrical work as part of upgrades to support senior students in the Upper Derwent Valley. Compass Electrical + Communications completed electrical, lighting, switchboard, data, fibre optic cabling, emergency lighting and hearing augmentation works for the upgraded learning space in Glenora, Tasmania.

The project involved repurposing an existing school building for Years 11 and 12 students. For a regional school community, this type of upgrade makes a real difference, giving senior students better learning spaces and more opportunity to study locally.

The problem

The existing building needed to be brought up to a standard suitable for senior learning. The school required dependable power, improved lighting, emergency lighting, upgraded communications and hearing augmentation to support day-to-day classroom use.

The space also needed to suit a more connected style of learning, including senior secondary subjects, VET pathways and access to the wider Derwent Collective network.

The work completed

Compass Electrical + Communications completed the electrical fit-out required for the upgraded building, including power, lighting, switchboard works and emergency lighting.

The team also installed data and communications infrastructure, including fibre optic cabling, to help support digital learning and reliable connectivity throughout the space. Hearing augmentation was included to improve accessibility for students, staff and visitors with hearing needs.

The result

The upgraded building now provides a more practical and reliable learning environment for Years 11 and 12 students. The electrical work supports safer classrooms, better connectivity and improved accessibility.

For Glenora District High School, the redevelopment helps support greater curriculum opportunities close to home. Students can access senior secondary learning, TASC and VET options, and broader education pathways without needing to leave their local school community.
