Acacia Hill School

acacia hill school

The new buildings and campus at Acacia Hill School reflect and honour the school’s ethos of excellence in the provision of an intensive and inclusive educational program for students requiring specialist programs. The new entry celebrates and welcomes students and staff to the school.

The bright façade colours are drawn from the colours of central Australian art, and the steel cutout mural refer to the acacia trees on the neighbouring sacred site, creating a sense of place. 

Careful consideration of access control and site legibility provide security and independence for students.  Flexible new indoor and outdoor spaces allow the school to modify its environment to suit the different and changing intellectual, behavioral and therapeutic requirements of the students.
