In Melbourne, several vertical schools haveor are planned on small sites, and Brisbane’s first vertical high school opened in Fortitude Valley last year.
“There are real concerns about space, which is so critical to the development of students,” he said. “And moving kids around schools from lesson to lesson is a significant logistical matter that cannot be treated lightly. Vertical schools would make that more difficult.”Mr Rajendra said the prospect of more vertical schools highlighted inadequate government planning for land for new schools in areas where high-density residential development had been allowed.
Ms Mitchell said the new Arthur Phillip and Inner Sydney high schools were examples of vertical schools that were built in high-density areas and had been well received.
Mattonews MeganGorrey Welcome to the 21st century... This is just part of living in a big city but the hope is decent sporting facilities can be shared amongst these schools.
Mattonews MeganGorrey The hour of Sydney's perpetual growth has struck. But deaf GladysB still isn't hearing the bells toll.
Mattonews MeganGorrey Bad headline- they had the land, the dills sold it 'because neo-liberalism'. Like the children's hospital in the inner west - we actually needed it, for kids, but they sold it 'because developers are our mates' - there are THOUSANDS of kids in that development 🙄🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷
Mattonews MeganGorrey NoT one single political party being willing to legislate to force developers to set aside land for or actually build schools parks gardens community n childcare centres public housing sports areas etc might also be a factor ?
Mattonews MeganGorrey How terrible.
Mattonews MeganGorrey Cause we gave such a teeny tiny country. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
