Black Mountain School SRC
School Yard I'd Like:

Student Summary:

​

As part of our SRC School Yard I’d Like task we thought about both our own ideas as SRC and ideas from last year’s SRC Happy and Safe survey.

​

Here are our ideas. The left side photo is what it is currently and on the right side there are our new ideas:

​

1. Footpath: We would like a new path and/or fix up the old one as the old one has cracks in it.

​

2. Outdoor gym equipment: We want to make it more modern like inside gym equipment. This will be easier to use. 

​

3. Nest swing: We only have one nest swing and we would like more as it is very popular. 

​

4. Flowers: We would love to add more flowers to make it look pretty and it will attract native animals and bees.

​

5. Tables and chairs: We need more tables and chairs because there are not enough and students don’t have a place to sit and chat.

​

6. Softfall: We need this to fix the gap between the gym equipment and footpath. This will help students who have trouble walking, and/or seeing to be safe.

Jury Comments

The group entry submitted by students at Black Mountain School is a reminder of how familiar landscape elements can lift an ordinary schoolyard space into one that is more accessible, enjoyable and fun.  The jury appreciate how the submission took a critical look at existing schoolyard features and provided considered solutions to help students better engage with the space.
