  • Alfred Felton Hall is located in the heart of the junior campus. It has been designed as a flexible school assembly and performance space with a seating capacity of 750. The auditorium has been arranged in a “courtyard” format with a flat floor open-end stage and wings, facing raked seating and side galleries. The flat floor zone provides for stackable seating and roll out rugs for the smaller children to sit on. The interior space is day lit to create a welcoming and child friendly place. This is not a black-box theatre, rather it is a day lit Hall which can adapt into numerous formats. The Hall is the place where students, staff and parents gather to celebrate and enjoy the cultural life of the school community.
