We hope to build a nature play area for the approximately 100 students at the Manangatang P-12 College. Currently there are limited play based opportunities for the younger students. Students and the wider community will have access which will benefit students of today and the future.
The garden will consist of materials such as logs, trees for balancing and climbing, rocks, tyres for tunnels and gardens, branches to create tee pees, slabs, mosaics and stumps for creative paths.
This can become an learning opportunity for students of all years with planning suggestions provided by the older students.

The nature playground provides an opportunity for the town to come together to plan and develop a nature a playground that will suit both the students and the wider community. Manangatang has a strong community spirit and although a small College it is keen to provide the best learning opportunities for the students who attend. Play based education has proven to be beneficial and provide numerous learning opportunities for the students both within and outside the classroom. The proposed fire pit can also provide a meeting place for students and the wider community outside of school hours further fostering community.

A great asset for the Manangatang community, especially the shool age kids way out in the Mallee.

A wonderful idea which I hope comes to fruition, as it will enhance the learning experiences within the school. It will also be an enhancement to the overall appearance of the school grounds and keep the community involved in the education of our children.

The playground at Manangatang is very sparse and uninspiring. Children transition from pre school miss our interesting environment. The children at school deserve this.

This is absolutely what children need to immerse themselves in on their break time. Meeting sensory needs, connection to nature, fun and adventure. Such a great idea
