Emily Wallace conceived and completed this wonderful design without the knowledge of HSC. While we do not necessarily nece ssarily have designs on a super school we strongly endorse all her designs and concepts for sharing the school facilities and the space with the community. This is something that does not occur currently at the under enrolled and under utilised Coburg Senior High site This design would enable the crucial Family-School-Community Partnership.
