More than equipment

Play is where our tamariki test their courage, stretch their imaginations, learn to take turns and discover what they can do. A playground is a place where friendships are formed and confidence grows.

Our playground has been part of that story for many children, but age and exposure to the elements have taken their toll. Rust, broken components and general deterioration mean it is time to look beyond ongoing repairs and towards a lasting replacement.

★ The plan

Built for our island climate

A sturdy, thoughtfully designed playground that can withstand sun, rain and salt air.

Climb, balance, explore

Equipment that offers challenge, movement and fun every day.

Durable and safe

Built with durability, safety and long-term maintenance in mind.

Recycle what we can

Uplifting and reusing parts of the old playground where possible.

★ Grants + community

We are inviting our community to help

Alongside this appeal, the Board of Governors and Principal have been identifying suitable grants to help us reach the full funding target. Community contributions and any successful grant funding will help turn this vision into a place our children can play, learn and grow.
