Many existing school buildings at the Ramingining School were significantly damaged during Cyclone Lam (2015) with a number subsequently having to be demolished. Platt Architects were engaged to design and document replacement buildings which included;

> A 22 place regulated Pre-school

> Learning and play space to accommodate the Families as First Teachers (FaFT) programme

> 2 new General Learning Areas (GLAs) for lower school students

> New ablutions for lower school students, and a

> Canteen and associated covered eating area

The new buildings have been integrated into the existing school and are designed as simple structures featuring large overhangs, verandas, awnings and the use of sturdy materials. Particular attention was made to the energy efficiency of the buildings.

A large meeting / gathering space has been provided at the front of the School to provide the opportunity for members of the community to meet on the site and to encourage the acceptance of the School by the Community.

A covered Portico forms an entry statement to the school.

Cyclone Lam destroyed most of the vegetation on the site including all the shade trees.

The redevelopment comprised extensive landscaping works which included the planting of several mature trees to provide welcome shade in the shorter   term.
