The play space located at the front of the school is an increasingly popular area for basketball games and sports from tennis, netball, volleyball, hockey, two square and line tiggy both during and after school. It has overtime become very root affected and dangerous with an increasing number of falls happening. We would love to give this play space an facelift to make it a safer place for children to continue their love of outdoor play. With our community being so diverse it is a hive of activity and children from all cultures and background play together.
Being at the front of the school and accessible at all hours this play zone is constantly used both during school hours and after school. We have a very multicultural community and around 42% of our students are English as a second language or Government funded children, as defined by the department of education this makes us a vulnerable community. Playing sports together, language is no barrier and this play space is a wonderful place where children integrate and build friendships and confidence through inclusion and sports.

As Kerrimuir PS is a small school there are limited play areas, the basketball courts being one of the main outdoor spaces for kids to play. This is a much needed initiative and would be an amazing improvement to the school facilities. It will be well used!!

Kerrimuir primary school is fantastic school, the teachers are caring and is serious in their work as an educator. The basketball court is a very important area as that is where all the students gathered every morning for assembly. It is definitely a worthwhile upgrade for the school and community

We talk about keeping the kids active but the local schools have to fight to have a usable basketball court.
Hope everyone is on board with this one. Really needed.

This is desperately needed for our school and community.
However I'm disgusted that our schools have to compete for funding via popular vote - our children deserve better than this!
