The design was carried out during the Middle Years of Schooling Research Teachers have developed integrated approaches to learning which and Development program based best suit the learning needs of the on the Hill and Crevola research students. and a key reform strategy at state government level. Schools strong belief, based on At the Kings Park campus there was research and extensive experience is that this structure is the best way considerable research into Middle to address the middle stages of Years reform, both pedagogy and structural. schooling. Local building projects adapted existing space to facilitate the new structure and year 10 was moved to the senior campus. This lead to a design brief for the Sydenham campus based on philosophy and middle years principles.
Teachers work in middle years teams with up to 200 years 7 to 9 students. There are a mixture of flexible spaces which allows for less traditional teaching approaches such as team teaching, small group, ICT integration. Emphasis on the teacher student relationship as a precursor for optimal learning the teachers know the students, and increasingly their families as well. This includes their individual learning needs.
Each team space is totally independent. Each has a group of 6 GPC spaces, a junior Science froom, Technology space, Art space and ICT pods. Four of the GPCs are double classrooms. Each team has their own team office, internal toilets, interview space and internal locker spaces. The design is open, glass used to allow supervision and security.
strengths: Strong sense of belonging, identity and loyalty for students in each team Team toilets work well as an antibullying strategy, as does the glass safety and security The team office fosters informal discussion amongst teachers Sense of ownership of the design amongst the staff and school community through research and inclusive design process. Building orientation and natural light Weaknesses: Internal lockers are higher than the optimum height of windows into corridors. Winds problematic for gardens. The north side of each building gets hot. Verandahs are designed successfully to provide shade, as well as a program in place to cool computer rooms.
Large size of school and rapid growth Emphasis on inquiry based learning means that sound pedagogy and appropriate structures need to be in place. As a multicampus school, we are committed to two year 7 to 9 campuses and one year 10 to 12 campus.

The Big Rug School operates as a woven textile of integration of pupils, community and staff with the landscape, local conditions and collective aspirations. Ecologically sustainable, low energy school buildings, emphasising design and construction efficiencies and technology advancements.
Connection to outdoor landscaped spaces and the environment beyond Interaction of school hours and outof-hours ideals weaknesses: Classroom design may not provide sufficient flexibility of spaces
Inclusivity Flexibility in teaching formats and spatial/furniture arrangements. Involving the entire community in the life of the school Encouraging lifelong learning; ICT integration Traditional delivery method of teaching being employed, 90% of learning conducted in classrooms, with break out individual learning pods/resource, ICT and library spaces. Sequential spaces inviting informal learning, passage, rest and sensory engagement.
Accessible, adaptive and integrated external and internal environments, focussing on both as spaces for learning. Inviting, de-institutionalised learning spaces, preferring rather flexible learning forums. A modular format of spaces remains distinct within the design proposal which incorporates a strong factory pre-fabrication off-site philosophy. Use of low-tech strategies, embodying low energy, ecologically sustainable design: ventilation chimneys, double skin walls, daylighting controls through use of solar blinds, energy efficient artificial systems

c ase s t u d y 0 8 . s c h ool of environmental studies [minnesota]

Environmental Studies Specific School located in a regional setting, adjacent the Minnesota Zoo. Strong environmental sustainability concepts used within building design, to be used as a teaching mechanism.
Interdisciplinary thematic curriculum: students shape their needs and interest to focus their education to environmental studies, through thematic learning experiences.
Active, experiential, access to advanced ICT empowered learning where traditional disciplines are integrated towards the study of the environment. Students to act as workers, teachers maintaining a less central role. Flexible learning with an environmental focus: in-depth, interdisciplinary research using innovative technology that results in practical applications. Coherent structured curriculum and instruction principles, modelling informed thought and decision making through enhanced student needs and directed educational opportunities. Removal of the traditional classroom arrangements by transposing the education setting within the environment.
Fit the building to the academic program: resolution of the schools pedagogy and curriculum intents prior to consultation of architects. Exposed architecture, using the building as a teaching tool to demonstrate how architects work with materials and the environment. Flexible, permeable and open learning spaces of varying scales, both within built forms and the external environment.
strengths: Integration and recognition of pragmatic real-world experience and benefits to flexible learning outcomes and students curriculum. Use of building envelope as an ecological teaching driver. Development of specialist education stream schooling, focus orientated to future personal and career development of students.
