St Luke's principal Alanna Otway and Regional Development Minister Terry Redman (centre) with Pilbara Development Commision acting chief executive Tony Hill and chairman Chris Gilmour.

The St Luke's College art centre is to receive $4.69 million of Royalties for Regions funds to upgrade and accommodate an expanded performing arts program, digital photography and astronomy classes.

Regional Development Minister Terry Redman announced the funding for the state-of-the-art upgrade.

St Luke's principal Alanna Otway said the funding was timely given their new performing arts program had proved a hit.

"We were hoping we'd get about 30 students. We had 90 students audition, which was well above expectations," she said.

"We are hoping with the extension to this performing arts centre we can actually make it into a real hub and we can bring community groups in to be more involved.

"I think in terms of facilities we can offer to those community groups who are out there and may be struggling for their own facilities, it will be really good."

Ms Otway said building would start shortly, with doors expected to be open for the start of the 2016 school year.

Once complete, the building is earmarked to accommodate dance schools, community associations, hobby groups, a green room, dressing rooms, an observatory and a photography lab.

Students will be able to study courses such as acting, stage design, visual and multimedia arts and photography.

Local teachers headed toward space

Kittredge Magnet School teacher Susan Oltman and April Whitt of the Fernbank Science Center were two of 28 ambassadors and the only from Georgia selected as 2015 Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors for NASAs Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy program, known as SOFIA.

The flying observatory is a highly modified Boeing 747SP jetliner carrying a 100-inch (2.5-meter) effective diameter telescope. Fitted with instruments that collect data at infrared wavelengths, SOFIA flies at altitudes between 39,000 and 45,000 feet (12-14 kilometers) on 10-hour overnight science missions.

Each educator team will complete a graduate credit astronomy course and then will be paired with a team of professional astronomers conducting science flights aboard SOFIA.

After their flight experiences, ambassadors take what theyve learned from the program into their classroom and communities to relate the scientific discovery process and its value to society.
