Kyeemagh Public School

The folded origami like envelope wraps the building, unfolding and unpacking their imagination

The redevelopment of Kyeemagh Infant School is programmed to expand the capacity of the existing K-2 Infants School to that of a Core 21 public school  in order to address established demographic pressure within the Kogarah Primary Cluster.

The new Kyeemagh Public School will be a future focused school, developed in alignment with the Department's General Educational Principals that will;

  • Focus on the needs of the learner and the learning.
  • Build community and identity and create a culture of welcome.
  • Be aesthetically pleasing. Provide contemporary and sustainable learning environments; and
  • embed the potential for re-configurability, both in the present for multi-purpose use and over time for changing needs.

The folded origami like envelope wraps the building,  packaging it in forms that speak to the young users’ eyes, unfolding and unpacking their imagination. Origami entails a rigid process of applied logic on a simple single ingredient: a single sheet of paper, yet the outcomes are limitless.
