School & Community Feedback for CNPS Outdoor Green Spaces & Playgrounds

Page1 / 1
 
 100% of survey complete.
WE WANT YOUR INPUT!

Please share what you would like to see in terms of beautiful landscaping that offer a range of inclusive spaces to engage differing ages, needs and abilities in play. All ideas will be considered!
 
Our vision is for these spaces to be shared by Coburg North Primary School (CNPS), Coburg Special Development School (CSDS) and the wider community. Our core themes are:
  • Fun, social and imaginative nature play for all of our children
  • Inclusive & diverse play types to engage differing ages, interests and abilities
  • Shared spaces e.g. Coburg Special Development School, Moreland Council school holiday program, sporting clubs, with the broader community
  • Spaces that promote sustainability, bio-diversity & smart natural design
We are incredibly lucky at CNPS to have valuable gardens, trees and multiple play spaces. We want to ensure we maximise the benefits of these spaces for our community and our environment. Our chickens will soon be returning and we will continue with veggie gardens.

With your help, we have been working on some successful fundraising initiatives for a playground. We are nearing a point when the efforts of these funds can start to be utilised :)
