The Newington College Eungai Creek Campus is a purpose-built rural facility designed to immerse Year 9 students in a transformative educational experience centred on sustainability, community engagement, and personal growth. Situated on a 200-hectare property on Dunghutti Country, the campus comprises ten 8-person cabins, a health centre, reception, and dining hall, totalling 1,600 m². The design emphasizes regenerative principles, utilizing carbon-positive materials like compressed straw panels and biochar-infused linings. The architecture fosters a deep connection to nature, with structures elevated to preserve the landscape and oriented to capture views of Mount Yarrahapinni. The campus serves as a living example of biophilic design, promoting well-being and environmental stewardship among students
