Contextualised Design

Every school is unique in their context, including their identity, community and site.

SINSW processes, including strategic consultation and the development of a bespoke education rationale for every major capital works project, ensures these contextual differences and needs are captured. The resulting design is responsive to the school context, whilst ensuring equitable school assets across the state that are informed by best practice and evidence.
