Benefits of new school buildings?!

Our school community is currently investigating the impact of school design on changing pedagogy, improving student outcomes and strengthening collegiality and distributed leadership.


We have focused on the question "What are the building design features that will positively impact on the learning and teaching within our primary school?" and invite you to join us in our discussions.


Students, staff and parents are involved in school visits, forums and meetings and have worked together to complete the the first three stages of the Building Futures progam which is now a requirement for Victorian government schools. We hope to commence work on the Master Plan shortly and begin building early 2008 (if not before).


We look forward to hearing from you with your ideas on the 'must haves' and 'best to avoid' features.
