The new Montmorency South Primary School delivers modern and flexible learning that is respectful to the local environment and existing operations.
Set on a tight and sloping parcel of land within the legacy school’s boundaries, the two-storey construction maximised use of available space to offer the best opportunities for interconnected learning and flexibility.
Flexible classroom clusters offer a variety of open plan, dyad or enclosed configurations, with adaptable ancillary space that allow for presentations, small group study, inter-class collaboration, and outdoor learning.
With the school’s nature reserve home to the indigenous Copper Butterfly, its orange triangle wing was interpreted as a design motif. Colour and shape became a key tool to defining spaces - highlighting entrances, withdrawal and presentation areas.
The new modernised building provides open, light and adaptable spaces for the school community, fostering collaboration and inclusive learning.
