Description
Woodside Junior School is a junior school built between 1956 and 1957, designed by Mary and David Medd of the Ministry of Education. The building features buff brick and painted timber cladding, with a flat roof, except for the taller hall which has a mono-pitched roof. It has an irregular picturesque layout, with the hall and a lower music/dining room at the center, and classrooms arranged in two groups of four extending to the southeast from either end. The school is single-storeyed and includes deep strip windows in the classrooms with solid spandrels below, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows facing the courtyard in the hall and dining areas. This school is noted as the first true 'rationalised traditional' school, built as a prototype by the Ministry of Education.
