Holy Rosary Learning Spaces and Canteen
Holy Rosary Catholic School, established in 1961, values its strong connections with the local community and vibrant school culture. An assessment of the school identified the need for larger, contemporary learning spaces, improved student amenities and flexible spaces for social and community programs. Our additions stay true to the school’s existing low-level, red-brick buildings with domestic-scale awnings and decks, and their location reinforces the importance of the school’s central courtyard. The new transparent shared spaces, amenities pods and pop-up sun collectors are a playful addition to the campus.
