The broad arched entry announces the public and staff entry to the entire complex through a barrel vaulted entry foyer opening into a double volumed atrium space lit by an overhead glazed lantern. This atrium space links the staff centre to the library and computer centre. The atrium is at the heart of the building where teachers and boys consult with each other around a gently playing fountain. Space, light, texture and colour combine to produce an ambience conducive to learning and social interaction. It is said that architecture is the spaces within.
All activities surround and look into the atrium.
The complex is transparent from The Meares oval to Main Oval. The teachers' common room, senior staff offices and reception occupy the ground floor. Above, are the teachers' work areas and staff lounge. A linking colonnade has connected the upper teachers' work areas to the main quadrangle. The three lower pointed arches were salvaged from the demolition of 'J' block and re-used in the construction of the link arcade.
