Description
- The schoolyard which was formerly two separate courtyards has been combined to provide a large space for the students.
- The major transformation of the courtyard involved removing a portion of the existing waterproofed asphalt areas especially near the trees , to improve permeability.
- Introduction of planters with aromatic plants and vegetables has created a productive landscape. This provides learning opportunities and a sensory experience for the students.
- The different types of play equipment within the large courtyard provides enrichment to the various age groups in the school (elementary and nursery).
- The play elements have been created from naturally occurring elements such as wooden logs and wicker.
- The upper portion of the courtyard is centered around a tree which has a climbing platform. Other play elements include balance courses made of vertical logs, wicker play-huts, outdoor chalkboards and two amphitheaters.
- The lower courtyard is more compact and has a large sandbox and a log amphitheater.
- The water flow is directed towards permeable vegetation areas in the courtyard. The rainwater pipe from the roof is directed to a water channel amongst planters.
- The pergola and walls of the courtyard have been planted with creepers and vines.
