Design and Planning
The school follows a "private-public partnership", one of only a few in the state. The secondary college will have modern design and architecture in mind, including smaller learning centres within the school. The school's design model is very similar to that of the regeneration of Dandenong High School model. Alkira Secondary College will have an expected enrolment of at least 1150 students when the school is fully grown.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or planning:
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
