This two-storey addition comprises over 1000 sqm of learning, resource and staff facilities that embodies the latest thinking in 21st Century learning.

Flexible classrooms linked with generous outdoor decks, window seats and balconies to provide a variety of environments for staff and students.

A combination of high ceilings, clerestory windows, and a central void ensures natural daylight and air filter through the entire building.

The school particularly loves their new entry: a two-storey mosaic art wall that identifies the school on a supersized map of Flemington.
