Junior Playhouse

We are delighted to have opened our wonderful Junior Playhouse. It was a great occasion, with a ribbon cutting ceremony,Playhouse Opening 23 Feb 2010 003cake and sausages. We are grateful to have had the expertise of parents Aaron Power and Brett Coombes coordinating the designing and building of this project. Many parents also contributed time, labour and assisted with donations and fundraising. The playhouse is being enjoyed by the children as it has provided lots of opportunities for creative play, fun and exercise. The tall ladder, slide, balcony, climbing tunnel, and inside platform are all popular. Sue Morgan French and Megan Coombes were the teachers responsible for helping to make this idea become a reality. It will be a resource for the school for many years to come.
