About the project

​We built a new games hall building, and undertook refurbishment works to existing general learning and administration areas. Associated landscaping works have also provided new opportunities for outdoor learning and nature play. ​

The games hall provides the school with a centralised hub for sports, music, drama, and art; incorporating a competition-sized stadium, spectator seating, and specialist learning spaces, as well as additional student and staff amenities and a new canteen. 

The built form of the new Games Hall responds to the architectural language of the existing heritage buildings on the school grounds; through referencing key elements and incorporating them into the design in a contemporary way, creating a cohesive and integrated design.​​​ 

​The refurbishment works to the existing General Learning areas have provided students with collaborative, flexible and nurturing learning environments​.​

This project, designed by ClarkeHopkinsClarke, was a finalist in the 2019 Victorian School Design Awards.
