North Shore State School is a model school, centred on community engagement, inclusivity, and supporting diverse learning experiences.
The school is arranged in two learning precincts – the junior school (prep – grade 3), and senior school (grade 4 – 6). These precincts are united by a generous central landscaped space, the ‘Great Court’, providing a range of play and outdoor learning opportunities.
Each precinct features ‘learning villages’, designed to cluster different year levels around a shared General Learning Area (GLA). The design of these villages prioritises inclusiveness – addressing equitable access, technology integration, and the varied needs of learners.
All GLAs have the ability to maintain a single room learning environment or convert to a dual learning space via an operable wall. Additionally, these GLAs connect with the central practical learning space through large folding doors.
“The North Shore State School community has benefited from the amazing design and layout provided to us that directly reflects the needs of Education in North Queensland. The village design concept allows for the integration of classes in the same year level in a safe and inviting learning environment. North Shore State School is privileged to be the recipient of this unique, creative and innovative design.”
