Playscape

 

On Monday the 3rd of October 2016 we welcomed students, staff, parents and the community to celebrate our exciting Playscape achievement. We have been saving and fundraising for many years and are so proud of this contribution from our community - what fortunate students! Many students played a part in the design with Richard Bellemo, as he consulted with them and took their thoughts to design this magnificent result.

Thank you to our guests:
