For the first time, all primary school students will be located in one building.
The new building will comprise of 23 classrooms, administration, and support areas:
- Ground floor
- 3 kindergarten classrooms
- Reception area, uniform shop, and 2 meeting rooms
- Administration facilities
- Learning enrichment room
- College journey room with school memorabilia
- First floor
- 3 classrooms per First, Second, Third and Fourth Year (12 in total)
- English as a second language and learning support
- Second floor
- 4 classrooms per Fifth and Sixth Year (8 in total)
- Outdoor play area located on the roof terrace
- Colour-themed floors and interior palette inspired by the College logo
Design has facilitated visual connectivity and site lines within the building to aid teaching staff and subtly reinforce the notion of community to the student body.
