St. Therese’s Primary School, Cranbourne South

That sounds like an amazing initiative by St. Therese’s Primary School, Cranbourne South! Creating a Playground Project Group to involve students in decision-making regarding their playground is a fantastic way to empower them and ensure that their voices are heard. It’s impressive to hear that the children were confident, respectful, and organized in their approach.

The inclusion of two areas for the kids to play, each with its own set of features, provides a variety of options for the students to enjoy. The Essentials structure seems to cater to traditional playground activities like climbing, sliding, and swinging, while the Orbit structure adds an element of adventure with features like roll over bars, orbit whirl, arched monkey bars, sway bars and a set of orbs.

It’s heartwarming to hear that the parents and staff are excited about the playground, especially appreciating the custom panel with the school motto. It’s evident that the collaboration between students, staff, and parents has resulted in a playground that not only meets the children’s needs but also fosters a sense of community pride.

The feature in the local newspaper and the “playground project group” wall further highlight the dedication and effort put into this project. It’s clear that St. Therese’s Primary School values student input and strives to create a positive and inclusive environment for its students. The upcoming welcome BBQ sounds like a great opportunity to showcase the new playground and celebrate the collaborative effort that went into its design and construction.
