This building has been designed to be an exciting, invigorating space that is inclusive for all students. This included spaces for Ko Taku Reo - Deaf Education and visually impaired students with 2 of the learning spaces being designed for Ko Taku Reo - Deaf Education. The building has integrated visual warning systems for deaf students and although Ko Taku Reo - Deaf Education have their own learning spaces they intend to participate in lessons with Hillmorton High Students also. 

Hillmorton have a great desire to be inclusive of all students. This was a driver to design the new landscaped pedestrian boulevard that directly connects to Upland block which is a Special Needs Unit onsite. 

The completion of the boulevard will be completed through the final master plan. In addition to the new build we are completing the structural strengthening and weathertight repairs to 5 existing blocks. This includes the Gym, Hall, Block D (Nelson Block), Block H (Cebus)
