The building is designed to be sensitive to the local residential district.

The silhouette of a Federation Home, enhanced by black glazed bricks; it is up-scaled, extruded and sliced.

The front of the building might be described perhaps as a haunted house, the centre (the extrusion) is vaguely a Shinto Shrine, while the striped Essendon brickwork of the rear (which interfaces with the schools ovals) reinforces the building's location and forms the robust grandstand.

Within this shape are two floors containing new classrooms and teaching spaces.
