Glen Waverley South Primary School, commissioned by the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA), is located in Glen Waverley, Victoria. Delivered as the first stage of an $18.5 million masterplan by Sibling Architecture in collaboration with the VSBA and the school community, the project introduces two new buildings that significantly enhance the campus and its learning environments.
One building houses the new school entry, administration and staff facilities, alongside STEAM-focused spaces including science, technology, library and performing arts areas. The second building provides flexible learning neighbourhoods designed to support team teaching and collaborative learning. Together, the buildings establish a contemporary, future-focused campus that supports both structured learning and adaptability over time.

Challenge
Acoustic performance was a key consideration, as the VSBA client required each room to meet specific acoustic ratings. Amelia Borg, Co-Director at Sibling Architecture, explained, “The VSBA have quite strict acoustic requirements, so each room has to meet a specific rating. Given those requirements, all of the products we chose had to help achieve those ratings, which was a major factor in our decision.”
Balancing these acoustic needs with budget and aesthetic goals was a central challenge, particularly in open and collaborative spaces where noise control is critical.
