A Sense of PlaceThe physical site of a school provides the school community with a “sense of place”, a community gathering point. The school community forms around your children, our students. We gather to see children grow, develop and thrive, essentially to learn. The physical site, buildings and facilities

are a significant influence on our sense of The Knox School, our sense of our place!

Developing a Draft Master PlanThis draft plan has been influenced by the words and attitudes of staff and parents as they have contributed their views at community consultations, staff meetings, smaller group discussions (often held for other purposes) and in simple conversations. These community views have then been reviewed in the light of student reflections, analysis of the uses of our facilities, best practice in other places and simply reflecting on how spaces are used or might be used by walking around, watching students and teachers go about their day.

All of this material has then been analysed in a number of workshops with architects, discussing what is unique about our site, what it might become, but most importantly how can we best enhance the day-to-day experiences of those on site, especially students and teachers, through the influence of the built environment. The overriding issue in

each discussion, in the consideration of each option has been to provide the best support for, and positive influence on learning.

Support for LearningThis consultative draft Master Plan is ambitious and visionary. It will influence and support a well-researched and carefully constructed draft Strategic Plan that is unambiguously focussed on learning. The Master Plan will drive both cost effective renewal of current buildings and facilities and significant future developments to enhance the use of our excellent site on Burwood Highway.

Renewal of current spaces and facilities, as well as future developments of significance will be guided by our underlying values and the purpose of the school. Our grounds, buildings, spaces and facilities will be designed, built, refurbished and used to support our purpose, which is to:

Grow and promote the wellbeing and learning of each student, to equip

them to thrive and contribute in a complex and changing world: They will become the “architects and advocates” of and for their future.

The FutureIt is clear that many of the jobs and careers that our current young people will hold in their working lives are not yet developed and many do not yet exist as a need to be filled. Thus our students need to be highly educated in both traditional skill sets and new dispositions. The built environment must positively influence and support student wellbeing, health and safety.

Guiding Values and PrinciplesOur grounds, buildings and spaces will support the enhancement of our school values of achievement, care & empathy, resilience, responsibility and respect.

This support and enhancement of values, wellbeing, health and safety will be guided via four principles.

Our consultative draft Master Plan has been designed to support the following principles:

• Connect - real learning is relational.

• Shape - real learning requires expert teaching.

• Provoke - real learning is challenging – it can be uncomfortable.

• Position - real learning must be purposeful.

In doing so, our built environment will support positively the personalised learning of each person on site.

A Significant BeginningA positive start to the plan has been made. Over the last two years:

• Eight class rooms have been built and/or refurbished.

• The main oval has been re-engineered with new drainage and levelling; resown with new more resilient grasses

• The foyer spaces of the Year 7 Centre have been completely extended and refurbished.

• Middle School and Senior College foyers have new furniture, as pilot schemes in the redevelopment of learning commons in each of these sub-schools.

• Additional staff offices, housing fifteen percent of the teaching staff, have been developed, bringing staff closer to students, enhancing staff/student connection, interaction and ease of access.

• The main Reception foyer space has new furniture to pilot a more welcoming, more home living room style, to make parents and visitors feel comfortable

The use of these small and significant improvements will guide future thinking, planning and development.

Some of the highlights of future development shown in the Plan include:

• New Early Learning Centre (ELC) with a shared underground car park, easily accessed from Burwood Highway by parents.

• New Infants School class rooms (Prep and Years 1 & 2), sharing the ELC car park.

• New Junior School Library and Junior School Reception.

• Refurbished artificial turf playing surface.

• New Technology facilities and Art Rooms.

• New Canteen.

• New “link” building, joining the Middle School, Senior College and Founders Buildings.

• New Coffee Shop for parents, staff and senior students.

• Redesigned and revitalised Main Quadrangle area. A “village piazza”.

• A place for quiet reflection and meditation.

• Refurbishment of each of the current buildings.

• New Administration building and further underground parking.

• Maintain two open spaces as potential sites for future development beyond this Master Plan.

Your Views are ValuedWe invite you to join us in creating the next part of the history of The Knox School. It will see a young school reach maturity as an established part of the broader Knox community and beyond.

Many of the current school facilities were “state of the art” at the time of their construction. We will adapt and reconfigure them to the needs of current and future students and build new facilities that are “future-proofed” as much as is humanly possible.

Our draft Master Plan reflects our belief in the future possibilities for each student of The Knox School. Spaces for relational connection, class rooms supporting expert teaching, spaces allowing for individual and group challenge and learning provocation.

Our facilities will support purposeful learning, positioning students for a future where they thrive in a complex and changing world and where they know and understand real and very strong family and community bonds based on their time at The Knox School.
