Project 2: Masterplan - Site Visit 1

Below are images taken on a visit to Torquay Primary School. Following interviews with the children, we found that the children enjoyed their learning environment. Torquay is a highly sport orientated community and we found from visits to the town centre, Jan Juc and Bells Beach that the town doesn't really get going until after 10 and most people are playing golf, jogging, surfing and etc.





Below are images of our site, this day was not a very nice one....very cold and windy!
