Details
Cape Naturaliste College opened in 2008 in a fast developing area in the south-west of Western Australia. The brief for this new school reflects the educational and social needs unique to students in their middle years.
The design concept is based on distinct learning communities gathered around a shared school heart, the promotion of an adaptable indoor/outdoor learning environment, and a site-specific response to its semi-rural location and microclimate. Stage two of the school will include a purpose-built library and performing arts buildings to provide shared facilities for school and community groups.
