Four classrooms on each of this new block's two new levels are organised around a refreshing layout. Lower classrooms break out onto a wide veranda and grassed courtyard, while upper classrooms extend out into a wide, multi-use corridor with deliberately modulated plan shapes. In underpinning the divide between learning and relaxing, the courtyard of grass and timber fins to the senior common room are particularly successful. The clients should be commended for supporting this different and advanced learning environment.
