Wattle Glen Primary School forms the beating heart of its semi-rural community setting.

  • A narrative key to unlocking a brighter future for the school, driven by the staff, students and families, there was a great affinity to a design that reinvigorated their connection to the surrounding landscape. For many, the school needed to become an extension of the home, along with strong ties back to its natural landscape setting.

The much-loved surrounding eucalyptus landscape and the idea of “Home within the Bush” became a conscious motif for materiality and form.

The design driver was celebrated by the community and further established the colour palette, material selection and the joinery elements.

An avenue for the bushland to continue within and around the school.

  • "Boulder” amphitheatres provide intimate outdoor teaching spaces adjacent to classrooms, whilst also removing barriers to upper terrace play areas. A nature arbour greets entrants, ensuring a welcoming and memorable arrival, and departure, for visitors to the school.
