About the project

We improved the kindergarten. Our designs included indigenous influences and elements that support student wellbeing and development.

We connected indoor and outdoor play spaces to improve air flow, access and natural light. The toilets and change rooms are also now accessible from all playrooms.

Other works included:

  • improved storage to encourage independent play and learning
  • renovated laundry and offices
  • an updated kitchen with a ‘breakfast bar’ for cooking lessons.
Funding
