TEACHING FACILITIES
Foundation, Intermediate and Senior Phase Classrooms:
​
Classrooms are typically arranged in rows parallel to site contours, with north facing orientation wherever topography allows. Foundation, intermediate and senior clusters form independent building groups with their own separate play areas and courtyards with PT slabs. The natural slope of the site creates a spatial separation from the Foundation Classrooms and the rest of the school.
​
Each classroom’s windows are oriented to keep the learners focused in class. The side facing a walkway or courtyard has high level windows and the side facing the sports field or other scenery have lower and larger windows to harness the view.
​
The school is accessible for people with disabilities, with multiple ramps from each entrance and further ramps connecting the courtyards on different levels. Each phase has duplicate classrooms on an upper level, but all other functions and special classrooms are accessible.

Sport:
As you move past the school in Bartholomeu Street, the Hall stands prominent behind the Sports field pavilion. The purpose of this is to instill a feeling of pride to the learners. The central avenue of the school has an enlarged space in front of the hall to accommodate the extra functions of sporting events such as team gazebos, medical and food tents. The end of the foundation phase building close to the sports field has a balcony for passive surveillance of matches and a scoreboard.
The Intermediate and Senior phase courtyard each have a dedicated Physical Therapy (PT) concrete slab where learners can play netball or basketball. Open walls in the courtyards -leveraging the natural slope of the site - are filled with tennis practicing spaces. Each phase has their own mosaic drinking fountain and shaded areas with trees, seating and planters.
