As part of the VSBA KOSS Bundle 4, Watson Young Architects collaborated with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation (WTOAC) to deliver a new kindergarten at Grovedale Primary School.

A key feature of the kindergarten is artwork by Wadawurrung artist Chloe Chatterton.

Chloe’s work is integrated throughout the building through acoustic panelling, perforated screens and sandblasted designs. Large circles represent yarning circles and meeting places, while flowing She-oak needles, linework and U-shapes represent the local community and shared journey. The story continues through the interior, celebrating connection, culture and community on Wadawurrung Country.

We thank Chloe for sharing her artwork and narrative, and for helping create a space for learning and inclusion.

Four new kindergartens across Victoria, delivered as part of the Victorian School Building Authority Kindergartens on School Sites (KOSS) Bundle 4.

Watson Young Architects has completed new facilities at Grovedale Primary School, Kennington Primary School, Horsham College and Gordon
Primary School.

Designed under a Design and Construct procurement model, the project established a modular design approach that created consistency across
the bundle while responding individually to each school site. Site-specific colour palettes and architectural entry screens give each kindergarten
its own identity, while clerestory windows introduce natural light throughout the learning environments.

The design also responded to the varied constraints of each location, from established school and pedestrian networks to challenging site
topography, while maintaining a consistent modular methodology across all four projects.
