Surrey Hills Primary want their students to model and promote: Critical thinking Interactive learning, Open-minded curiosity, Self-motivation, Respect, Action and belonging. A playground can be a great environment to explore this!

Playgrounds provide opportunities for students to engage in hands-on, experiential learning, which can help develop critical thinking skills as they explore and problem-solve in an open-ended environment. Additionally, playgrounds can promote open-minded curiosity by encouraging students to try new activities and take risks in a safe space. Self-motivation can be fostered through the use of playground equipment that requires physical effort and perseverance. Respect can be promoted through the use of playgrounds as a shared space where students learn to take turns and consider the needs of others. Action and belonging can be fostered by providing opportunities for students to engage in group activities and work together to achieve a common goal.
