Swan Hill Specialist School is an educational hub on the lands of the Wamba Wamba, Latji Latji, Tatti Tatti, Wadi Wadi and Barapa Barapa peoples in the Murray region of Victoria.

Stage 01 of the masterplan aimed to provide a catalytic social heart to the school site; a sports court was placed as a central gathering space for the school and community.  

Additions and Alterations were made to the Main Classroom Building in Stage 02, consolidating administrative staff spaces and public facing spaces towards the head of the building, separating primary circulation through the school from the junior classrooms.

The School reception is a public square in miniature, with the outstretched arms of the cafe and library wrapping around the new sports court with visual connections made between contemplation and action.
