The Junior School precinct has been thoughtfully designed to reflect how younger students learn, play and develop.
Spaces are age-appropriate, easy to navigate, and support a sense of safety and belonging. The layout encourages connection between classrooms, shared areas and outdoor environments, helping students feel confident and settled as they move through their day.
Learning environments
Learning spaces are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing teachers to respond to different learning styles and needs.
Students will work across a range of settings, including:
- Whole class learning
- Small group collaboration
- Individual focus and reflection
These environments support both structured teaching and opportunities for inquiry, exploration and independent thinking.
The precinct will include 14 contemporary classrooms, designed to support both individual and collaborative learning experiences
Specialist learning areas
In addition to general learning spaces, the Junior School includes dedicated environments that support a broad and engaging curriculum.
These include:
- STEM and enrichment spaces for hands-on learning and problem solving
- A dedicated library and resource hub to support reading, research and independent learning
- Music tutorial rooms and specialist music spaces that encourage creativity and performance
These spaces are integrated into the daily learning experience, allowing students to explore different interests and ways of learning from an early age.
Outdoor play and learning
Outdoor environments are an important part of the Junior School experience.
Spaces have been designed to support:
- Active play and physical development
- Social interaction and collaboration
- Exploration and connection with the natural environment
Younger students will benefit from a dedicated, secure play space designed specifically for early years learning, while older primary students will have access to a broader range of shared outdoor areas across the College.
Students will also have access to existing College facilities, including courts, gym spaces and recreational areas, supporting both structured physical education and unstructured play.
A shared multi-purpose and performing arts space
At the centre of the precinct will be a large multi-purpose space designed to support both daily school life and broader College activities.
This space will be used for:
- Assemblies and gatherings
- Performances and presentations
- Indoor physical activity
- Community events
With capacity for approximately 500 people, it will also serve as a performing arts venue, creating opportunities for music, drama and shared experiences across the College.
Built for the future
The Junior School precinct has been designed with a focus on contemporary education and long-term adaptability.
Learning spaces, materials and infrastructure have been selected to support evolving teaching practices and the needs of future students, ensuring the environment remains relevant and effective over time.
A pedestrian footbridge: connecting campuses safely
With the introduction of younger students to the area, safety is paramount.
A dedicated pedestrian-only footbridge will connect the Junior School to the main campus, eliminating the need for students to cross busy roads. This significantly enhances student safety and provides peace of mind for families.
The footbridge will also:
- Improve traffic flow along Mawson Lakes Boulevard
- Reduce congestion at peak times
- Allow students to move easily between campuses
- Support access to shared College facilities
The design will prioritise accessibility, incorporating ramps and lifts to support students, staff and visitors of all mobility levels.
