Come to hear speakers, Avonside Girls' Principal, Sue Hume, and John Sofo, from ASC Architects, present the journey to realise and occupy this unique campus.

A state-of-the-art design to create the “ultimate campus” was unveiled for the rebuild of Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High School in 2019. The campus shares a 11.5-hectare site at Queen Elizabeth II Park. The rebuild of these two schools was part of a $220 million contract with Ministry of Education which also included building another three primary schools.

The Campus is set around a series of courtyards that manage scale, inclement weather and importantly creating numerous habitats for connecting community. Social spaces are seamlessly interwoven with dedicated learning spaces, subtly inviting learning to occur anytime anywhere without compromising resources and storage solutions.

Each school while maintaining its own separate teaching spaces also enjoys the benefits of combining shared areas to deliver efficiencies of scale that each school alone could not have provided. The design of the shared campus, with shared facilities, low-cost building materials and the use of natural light and ventilation, contributes to operational cost savings.

Clear public private zoning ensures the campus contributes to the broader community allowing for after hours and during school time use where possible. The gym and performing arts centre are cleverly positioned to be available for community use.

This accumulates into a design that is able to offer students and staff completely new experiences.
