The Horizons Program is based there along with the Pathways office for use by students. This spacious area has been made available by the relocation of portable classrooms due to the addition of the Science and Technology building.

New Training Facilities As part of the drive towards Excellence, St Monica’s College has made a major financial commitment to improving facilities. During 2002, two staff went on a study tour of Europe to study the latest developments in all weather playing surfaces. After studying the available surfaces it was decided to put in place a LSR fibre Phiolon, full sized soccer pitch with lighting. A second area of turf material was developed to enable Tennis, Hockey and Five a side soccer to take place. The Soccer pitch is the only FIFA accredited soccer pitch of this type in the Southern Hemisphere to this date. The pitch will enable training to happen all year round regardless of weather. The same material will be used by Ajax Amsterdam in their Arena Stadium from the beginning of the next Dutch soccer season. The Victorian Soccer Federation are investigating the use of this same surface for their new Soccer Headquarters at John Cain Reserve in Northcote. Further development of the College’s Sports and Assembly Hall will enable the squads to shower more efficiently with the development of larger changing rooms and more showering capability. "This is the only playing surface of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. An all weather artificial soccer pitch."
