Our goal is to erect a permanent shade structure that protects our student's skin against the elements all year round. A large shade structure would be built to cover the Basketball Courts and Senior Playground. This space may also be utilised by our school community before and after school hours for extra-curricular activities, sporting clubs, personal training, families and the like.

Providing shade over our playground areas not only shows our commitment to our students future, but that of our wider community as well. We aim to provide a safe and protected environment where all members of our community can play, celebrate and learn together. Placing shade in these high-play areas will encourage students, classes and families to get outdoors, build positive relationships and support development in emotional, mental, spiritual and physical well-being. As enrolments continue to grow, and families look for outdoor activities to participate in with their children, this project will provide a space where all can benefit.

A fantastic SUN SAFETY initiative that will benefit the entire community! - Almost 900 students attend the campus during school hours, and many 100's more use these facilities after hours (holiday programs, local sporting associations and community events etc).

A fantastic initiative for the benefit of 900 students but also the before & after school care program, holiday sports programs and the thousands of people that use this school & area after hours - especially during the summer!

All students have a right to play outside and be protected from the harsh sun rays in summer.
