Opus provided full design and project management for this new, 10-classroom primary school and its associated facilities. 

The school reflects the idea of a social village that welcomes students, providing a variety of spaces in which they can interact and learn.  Many of the internal spaces are linked to exterior areas, creating a wider range of opportunities for learning.  Classrooms are organised into four pods that embrace outdoor sunken theatres. 

Sustainable principles were a vital component of the school’s design, with earthworks reduced to a minimum and an effluent field designed to treat wastewater.
