When it came to creating learning spaces that encourage engagement, Dean of Students John Chalvatzis knew they had to be flexible, colourful and comfortable.
The learning space design needed to allow the boys to move around and reconfigure the furniture in ways that each student individually likes to learn. “Boys learn through movement, it’s the way the male brain is wired compared to female brains", John explains, “so there’s a lot of science involved there."
John Chalvatzis – Dean of Students, Ipswich Grammar.
Ipswich Grammar is one of Queensland oldest and most respected boys’ schools, so bringing the school into the 21st Century required extensive research and stakeholder involvement. The transformation has elicited not only a positive response from leadership members and teachers, but 96% of students surveyed love the new rooms and 89% believe the spaces have helped improve their studies.
