A calming, green outdoor environment promotes school and community performance and exploration.
About this event
Come and explore this award winning innovative outdoor environment.
The green, calming outdoor environment utilises natural materials and colour that exist in the local area. The outdoor learning space promotes entertainment/performance, play, discovery, and exploration by providing a variety of spaces that incorporate topological features, surfaces/tactile environments, materials, plants, and trees.
The landscape fully supports diverse, unstructured educational opportunities, allows for creativity, problem-solving and risk -taking, and importantly supports age-appropriate development.
Strong stakeholder input involving staff, students, the community, with landscape architects via site visits and planning meetings. Input via the ‘Calming and Coping’s strategies project has resulted in decisions to use natural materials blended with existing trees/plants.
Principal Liz Weir and landscape architect Tim Scott, from Kamo Marsh, will be addressing the concept and delivery of these exciting spaces.
