The brief was to build a school that would be seen as an extension of home, offering a social hub for the growing local community to connect and engage, whilst reflecting the surrounding natural environment of nearby Edgar's Creek and Lehmann's Farm Park. Architects' ThomsonAdsett and Law selected natural colours and materials, in earthy tones complimented by Oak finishes for the school and surrounded it with native fauna.
The build included an administration building, library, art, food and science learning spaces, performing arts and physical education buildings, the community hub and 2 learning neighbourhoods for which VE Furniture were delighted to provide Flex chairs with height adjustable Studiwell Deluxe tables, Rondo and Geo Ottomans with iDisc tables and Classmate Benches with Proform Graphics Stools, among a range of other furniture to compliment the space.
