Box Hill North is supported by a connected, passionate and committed School Council who continuously look for new and innovative ways to improve our learning environment. We are currently in the process of implementing a Master Plan; professionally designed by current parents, with intent to provide our students the best access to a quality educational experience. Key principles of the Master Plan include:

Introduction of a central spine to unite all key spaces of school and kindergarten, providing way finding and clarity
Enhancing flow between indoor and outdoor areas with verandahs and decks
Integration of verandahs and decks with ramps to address level changes and create play and learning opportunities
An array of outdoor areas for a variety of play and learning experiences
Open up centralised space to create the ‘heart’ of the school and kindergarten
Reconfiguration of corridors and general purpose classrooms to create learning commons and more adaptable learning spaces
Connection of indoor and outdoor spaces
Redevelopment of main entrance
Increase number of general purpose classrooms for future growth
Reorientation of administration area to central spine
Improvement to building performance by upgrading glazing, insulation, ventilation and lighting
