A New Junior School Playground

A New Junior School Playground

From the Business Manager, Em Cassin

We are excited to announce an upcoming upgrade to our Junior School playground! This project aims to create a more engaging, safe, and inclusive play environment for our students.

The new playground will feature modern equipment designed to cater to a wide range of interests and abilities. From our popular climbing structures (these will remain) and sensory play areas for interactive games (new spaces), there will be something for everyone. We believe that these enhancements will not only provide more fun and excitement but also promote physical activity, social interaction, and cognitive development.

Safety is our top priority, and the new playground will include state-of-the-art safety features. The ground surface will be made of soft, impact-absorbing materials to reduce the risk of injuries. Additionally, all equipment will meet the highest safety standards and be regularly inspected to ensure it remains in excellent condition.

We understand the importance of inclusivity, and the upgraded playground will be accessible to all our Junior School students.

The project is divided into two Stages and the first stage has already begun. You may have already seen the fencing and diggers at work. We anticipate full completion of both Stage 1 and Stage 2 by the end of Term 1. During the construction period, we will make alternative arrangements for student play to move to the ovals to ensure that the student’s routines will not be impacted.

We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing the joy and excitement on our students’ faces as they explore their new playground. If you have any questions or would like more information about the project, please do not hesitate to contact us.
