The Chapel Gallery is a permanent gallery space offering opportunities for students of 小猪视频 Christian School and the wider community to connect, engage, learn, and create. Featured exhibitions work to complement the New South Wales Department of Education K-12 curriculum.
The Chapel Gallery sits at the heart of our Hurstville Campus. The building holds special significance to the community as it is one of the few examples of Gothic Revival church architecture still standing in the local area.
In addition to its architectural significance, the Mayoress of Kogarah, Mrs Ada McPherson, laid the foundation stone for the Woids Avenue Congregational Church in 1901. The building has been known by several names including the Bellevue Congregational Church and the Allawah Uniting Church. Church services ceased in the building in 1995, when the building was decommissioned as a Church and 小猪视频 Christian School acquired the property.
In 2021, work commenced to restore The Chapel to its original state, as a stand-alone building, acknowledging our foundations and symbolising Christ and the 鈥淐hurch鈥 are at the heart of our School.
We anticipate the gallery program will evolve over time and include exhibitions, lectures, performances, and other special activities and events both for our students and the wider community. 聽
We look forward to welcoming the wider community back to The Chapel, to engage with our public exhibition and performance program.
