The Master Plan provided for 3 learning communities, each catering for 150 P-6 cross age groups. The communities are separated by landscaped courtyards and are supported by a gymnasium and administration facility, as well as hard and soft playground areas.
The project was designed to meet the school’s philosophy of student centred learning and team teaching, and to engender a collaborative educational approach between students and staff.
Outdoor learning areas are integral with each building. The bold use of colour and prominent building fascias help to announce its availability for community use to the neighbourhood.
