Shade Sail Works and Outdoor Inclusive Learning Settings
School Council members have been hard at work campaigning for improved outdoor learning spaces for our school.
We are pleased to announce that over the coming Summer break we will be having shade sails installed over the handball courts (which is a very popular play space). Please refer to the images below:
As you may be aware, in mid-2021 our school was awarded an "Inclusive Schools Capital Works Grant" through the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA).
Plans have now been finalised, and works are due to commence at the end of May 2022. The capital works include an outdoor all-weather classroom, and a fully covered all-weather stage area.
Following the completion of the VSBA works, School Council have allocated funds to enhance this area with additional shade sailing over a large expanse of the area indicated. Please refer to the images below:
