The Playground Paradise Project will include a rejuvenation of the existing playground area. Currently, the surface consists of asphalt and tan bark, with limited safe surfaces for students to play on. The project will see a redevelopment of the existing sandpit to double its size, new cubby houses and forts for interactive play and a rubberised surface around the playground. This surface will provide a healthier and safer option for the students (reducing injuries). The new sandpit, cubby houses and forts will provide more engaging options for the students to be active, creative and innovative, promoting healthy relationships.

Playground Paradise Project will positively impact our whole school community: St Kevin's School students, the OSHC students, School Holiday Program students and our Ormond Community Playgroup. They will have a healthier, safer and more engaging play space. Currently, the children do not have access to grassed or rubberised areas on which to play. This project will enable the school to provide a safer option for all children when running and playing, promote continued development of both fine and gross motor development, and build healthy relationships. They will all have a renewed and exciting Playground Paradise.

This School has a true heart and supports many wonderful local families. They virtually have no grass and rely a lot on their playground area. My vote to them thanks!

St kevin's defines community spirit. The parents and teachers recognise the need for for these playground improvements for current and future students. Our kids deserve a great play area to look forward to each day!

St Kevins is such a beautiful school that my son has excelled at! We love the teachers and the school is so caring and nurturing to ensure that everyone is included. We would love to have a playground that suits how beautiful the rest of the school is!! Thank you so much for your vote.

A wonderful small school with a great community. My kids love it. An improved playground would be so beneficial. They really don't have much. I think they are in awe when they visit other schools.

St Kevin's is a great little primary school, which has helped my son excel. It is such a deserving school, that it needs the broader communities help, in raising awareness of the school. And in doing so, to help the school create the most amazing playground for the most respectful, kind and appreciative children

This a beautiful small school and the children should be able to have the facilities that other schools enjoy. The staff are great and they need support to keep doing a great job.

We have a wonderful school with the most beautiful kids and staff. However, our playground desperately needs improvement by resurfacing and refreshing which is a costly process which we simply can't fund ourselves. A financial contribution would really assist us. Thanks for your vote.

Our beautiful little school REALLY needs this facelift! We are a welcoming, close-knit and generous community and our teachers, students, parents, carers and friends are like a little family. Our students would totally benefit from this project which, as a small community, we simply cannot fund on our own, despite considerable efforts. Your vote is greatly appreciated!
