The new Narellan School for Special Purposes will cater for children from K to year 12 with a range of disabilities. The school adjoins the heritage listed St Thomas chapel and shares access through this site. The campus has been designed with facilities which may be shared with the public after hours, such as the hydrotherapy pool and multi purpose building, located adjacent to the chapel and portrait gallery. The original Hope Christian School Library has been retained within this zone. A civic link connects the site to Richardson Road.
The homebases have been designed as north facing cluster classrooms each containing a learning common and all opening to secure cocourtyards.
The development makes use of an extensive bushfire asset protection zone to the west for outdoor play areas. Buildings have been designed to meet requirements of the Mine Subsidence Board and the impact of site crossfalls.
