School Projects
Charlton Christian College
Keeping the school community fit will be a fun experience with this Outdoor Fitness Area that incorporates our three fitness lines of Healthbeat, Fitcore Extreme and Playbooster Fitness. A combination of the various pieces allowed the school to choose the equipment that best suited their needs and budget. The area was completed with a bright blend of blue CSBR Pre Colour Rubber.
St Thomas More's Primary School
Located in the ACT, St Thomas More's had an old tired playground structure, but a beautiful space with huge potential. The old playground was removed and a new Playsense Play unit installed into the existing bark mulch area with existing shade. The bark was topped up and a whole new play space created for the children to enjoy.
Yennora Public School
Two areas were worked on within Yennora Public School. The first area in their special needs unit required new equipment, rubber surfacing, sandpit and shade. The second area was their old asphalt basketball court that was transformed using CSBR Pre Colour Rubber Wetpour Surfacing creating a bright, fun and usable space for the children.
Barwon Valley School
Barwon Valley School located in Victoria required a playground design that suited their community with kids of all abilities. Children that needed wheelchair and mobility device access, but also children that required challenging climbers. This wonderful Playbooster design ticked off all those boxes with 2 fun slides and packed with wheelchair accessible sensory panels.
Oxley Park Public School
This recently completed sports court was a huge project. Difficult site to access but the end result was worth it! This once boring asphalt area is now a bright multi purpose sports court with CSBR Pre Colour Rubber Wetpour, Line Marking, Concrete Edging and two reversible Basketball/Netball Towers. This court is going to be getting a lot of use!
Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College
An unused hill side was transformed into an outdoor fitness circuit using the Fitcore Extreme range. This was finished off with a plush 30mm thick Summer Prestige Synthetic Grass Surfacing. Installing along a concrete pathway added to the challenge of the circuit. Once complete, the kids then run back up the hill to start the circuit over again.
Evans High School
This high school located in Blacktown needed shade, shade, shade! We provided for them a bus shelter, a smaller picnic shelter with a concrete slab and a huge double Hip Roof Shade Structure. Now they have plenty of places to shelter from the sun! The Hip Roof Shade area was then finished off with Synthetic Grass, Concrete Pathways and a Running track.
Winston Hills Public School
Winston Hills Public School were looking to update a tired old area to a bright new play space for their Special Needs Unit. With the introduction of pieces specifically chosen for their high sensory advantages this area has been transformed into an inviting, fun and useful play space. The area was completed with a repaired retaining wall and TPV Rubber Surfacing.
Tregear Public School
Two areas were covered at Tregear Public School. First was a fitness circuit consisting of their pick of the Fitcore Extreme range that suited their school. Along with a Hemisphere Climber and Drop Shot Towers. An additional area featured the Playsense 301. All were finished off with CSBR Pre Colour Rubber Surfacing.
Spring Farm Public School
Spring Farm Public School consisted of 5 separate play areas. These covered a mini Fitcore Extreme circuit with CSBR Rubber Pads and an outdoor Rhapsody Music area with Synthetic Grass. A Sensory play Panel zone was also included, and then a general play area. This consisted of a Cozy Dome, Block Climber and Fly Wheel with CSBR Rubber.
Jasper Road Public School
The special needs unit of this school needed a huge transformation to replace its outdated equipment. With the use of a bright EPDM surface, a bike track was created. This leads the children on a path of discovery to lots of inclusive and sensory based equipment.
Redhead Public School
An old dilapidated playground removed to make way for a Playsense 301 and Cozy Dome. The pre configured Playsense range was ideal for the school’s project. It fitted in the existing space they had and providing lots of climbers and sliding activities.
Sadleir Public School
Two blank boring walls in the special needs unit of this school needed a splash of colour! This was achieved with a series of Playshaper Sensory panels. This not only provide some much needed colour, but provide some very important sensory pieces to the yard.

Gumbirra Pre School – A small play space required shade however, posts from a standard type of structure would have created too many obstructions in the area.
