The design focused on ensuring that all areas were seen as engaging and inspirational, providing positive spaces both internally and externally, to foster teaching and learning opportunities.


The main entrance and administration block is located between the junior and senior school for efficiency and legibility, and the palette used throughout is largely based on light neutral backgrounds with natural wood and colour highlights for improved way finding and orientation.


Emphasis was also placed on integration, energy efficiency and durability to help reduce operating and maintenance costs.
