Shotover Primary School is aspirational and empowering, offering a diverse range of opportunities for students. It also values the importance of engagement with its wider whanau as it seeks to make the school the heart of the community.

The Shotover School Stage 2 development included the addition of a new 8 teaching space building that is arranged into 2 habitats. To increase to collaboration between the habitats and flexibility of the spaces both habitats are connected through a central wet area that can opened up or closed down depending on the activities. The wet area also extends outdoors to facilitate learning opportunities in an outdoor space that is protected from the elements.

Following on from the successful completion of Stage 2, BCN Architects were engaged to deliver Stage 3, which saw the development of an additional 10 new teaching spaces arranged as 2 x habitats and a 2 teaching space new entrant nest.
