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.

This is a must. Our courts need an upgrade to get more kids outside and play. Basketball is a sport that everyone can play. This would be great for the kids!

Very worthwhile project - basketball courts desperately need an upgrade. the kids are constantly running around getting great exercise in this space, but as stated in the blurb it is getting a bit dangerous with the uneven surfaces.

We need to provide children opportunities to exercise as much as possible. Giving them good facilities is a great start.

It's a shame that schools have to compete to receive funding for something so valuable to their kids & community's physical, mental & emotional development & stability. The more kids we have playing outdoors now will only lead to a healthier, happier & inclusive community in the future. Here's hoping the funds come your way!
