No two children are the same. That’s why Taylor offers families a variety of different options for kids to play and learn in their suburb. 

Margaret Hendry School opened in 2019 and like all ACT public schools, offers an enriching combination of arts, music, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This will equip students for the best future. 

The school has been designed to cater for 600 primary students and 176 preschool students. There are two sports ovals and a school hall, which the community can hire for events. 

Construction has also begun on a high school in Taylor, located next to Margaret Hendry School. The school is expected to open in 2024 and will cater for around 800 students.

Climate resilient homes at North Wright Sustainable Precinct

11 Apr, 09:00 AM
Experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is designed to handle whatever the climate may bring.

The North Wright Sustainable Precinct is leading the way with climate-resilient homes designed to keep you comfortable and safe, no matter the season. As climate change continues to impact our environment, the need for homes that can withstand Canberra’s four seasons and our extreme weather conditions has never been more critical. Here’s how North Wright Sustainable Precinct homes are built for the future: 

Designed for Canberra’s climate extremes 

Canberra experiences a wide range of weather conditions, from scorching summers to freezing winters. These homes are specifically designed to handle these extremes: 

  • Heatwaves: Even on days exceeding 35°C, these homes stay cooler for longer, reducing the need for air conditioning. Improved airtightness and insulation slow the rise of indoor temperatures, keeping your home comfortable. With solar panels installed, you will use your own energy to keep cool – reducing your reliance on the electricity network.  

  • Cold mornings: With superior insulation and airtight construction, these homes retain warmth overnight, so you wake up to a warmer home without the need for excessive heating. 

  • Power outages: In the event of a blackout, these homes remain comfortable for hours longer. The combination of high-performance insulation and airtight design ensures that homes stay warm in winter and cool in summer, even without power.

Protection against bushfire smoke and pollution 

Bushfire seasons can bring hazardous smoke and fine particles into the air. Our homes are equipped with advanced Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems and airtight construction to filter out smoke and pollutants, ensuring cleaner indoor air. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment during bushfire events. 

Managing high humidity and moisture 

High humidity can lead to condensation, mould, and stale air but our homes at North Wright Sustainable Precinct use a combination of HRV systems and split systems to manage moisture levels effectively. This reduces the risk of condensation and mould growth, ensuring a healthier indoor environment. 

Built to last 

The homes are designed to be durable and resilient, protecting your investment for the long term. The airtight and vapour-permeable construction prevents condensation and rot, safeguarding the structural integrity of your home.

Why choose North Wright Sustainable Precinct? 

  • Heatwave resilience: Stay cooler for longer during extreme heat, reducing reliance on air conditioning. 

  • Cold weather comfort: Retain warmth overnight, minimizing the need for excessive heating. 

  • Blackout protection: Maintain comfortable indoor temperatures during power outages. 

  • Cleaner air: Filter out bushfire smoke and pollutants with advanced ventilation systems. 

  • Moisture control: Prevent condensation and mould with effective moisture management. 

 

Choosing a home at North Wright precinct means investing in a future-proof, climate-resilient living environment. Experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is designed to handle whatever the climate may bring. Discover the benefits of living in a climate-resilient home today!
