HUBdate: In the Beginning
Imagine an innovative, multi-level learning space that puts Student Voice and Student Choice at the heart of our school. This August, we’re looking forward to the HUB inspiring our students and connecting their learning across our campus and the world. Join us on the journey of this new space to learn more, from inception and philosophy to design and construction!
Everything we do puts Student Voice and Student Choice at its centre. We step outside our comfort zones and Burst the Bubble.
Over 18 months from 2015-16, our school redesigned its whole Strategy for the years ahead using a human-centred design approach. From this process, we would create a new Early Years Centre, and multi-level learning space to replace our library, which would later become known as the HUB.

The visit connected directly to their classroom investigations into organisation, symbols, and design – bringing their IB Primary Years Programme inquiries vividly to life.
