| The site area is less than half
of most comparable schools. The school shares open space with
community facilities and creates an urban edge facing the
town center, while fingers of landscaping connect the school’s
courtyards to its open space and the Dry Creek reserve to
the west. A north-south spine connects four ‘Family
Units’ for 110 students, each opening directly to its
own courtyard to the north and having distinct windows and
bays to the Garden Terrace footpath.
The linear arrangement of the "Family Units" along
the Garden Terrace frontage offers a sculpted form to the
school. Two other buildings are positioned in counterpoint,
establishing an urban entry at the north and formalising a
plaza area within the landscape.
