The complex was designed in collaboration with the Aboriginal
community and is to be build in 3 stages. To date Classes
1, 2 and 3, Art and Craft rooms, special education rooms,
library, kitchen and administration offices have been constructed.
Natural materials have been used where possible in the construction
with finishes. Architecturally, the Centre provides users
with some imaginative keys to strengthen relationships and
understanding of the land, as well as practical spaces for
learning and play.
