After School Study Centre
The After School Study Centre is a space designed to bring together the functions of library, individual study pods and seminar zones in a single community gathering place. Students in Years 7-12 can engage in self-directed, individual ‘cave’ or collaborative work and are able to exercise agency in their choice of location and furniture, whether selecting an individual desk, a booth, a high table or a communal lounge. Flexibility is the key, enabling each student to arrange their workspace in a way that facilitates the activity of the moment. The space is open five days a week until 6pm and is very popular with students especially those in Years 11 and 12 to work on assessments tasks without the distractions of working from home.
