CRANBOURNE South West Primary School set to open in 2017 will be one of the first Victorian schools to meet a new design model which caters for students with disabilities.
The design concepts launched on Tuesday 5 April by Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley and Cranbourne MP Jude Perera will be adopted by all new Victorian Government schools.
Principals of design include indoor learning spaces that can be adapted in design and layout to suit the social and educational needs of all students, along with outdoor sensory areas such as gardens.
Some spaces will support students who want to withdraw from social circumstances if they are feeling overwhelmed or need to focus on a specific task.
These architectural and design elements will be incorporated into 15 new schools- including Casey Central East Primary School in Cranbourne North – being built under the $291 million public private partnership school building project.
