arete to deliver new Hume Tech School at Broadmeadows campus

14th August, 2025

arete Australia has been appointed as the builder for the new Hume Tech School, located at Kangan Institute’s Broadmeadows campus.

Set to become a state-of-the-art hub for innovation and learning, the Hume Tech School will deliver hands-on, high-tech STEM education for students in Melbourne’s north. It will serve secondary students from more than 20 partner schools across the region, offering industry-aligned programs focused on science, technology, engineering and maths.

The design reflects a bold vision for future learning environments, placing a strong emphasis on sustainability, creativity and connection with local industry. It will provide spaces where students can collaborate, design, test and prototype real-world solutions using cutting-edge technologies.

The Hume Tech School is part of a Victorian Government initiative to transform the way students engage with STEM. These schools are not traditional schools, but high-tech innovation centres hosted by TAFEs and shared with local secondary schools. They aim to bridge the gap between education and the workplace by helping students build job-ready skills for the future economy.

arete Australia is proud to be contributing to a project that supports young people to thrive as innovators, critical thinkers and future leaders in their communities.
