Help us finish our playground upgrade!

$5,050 of $15,000 goal
Given by 21 generous donors in around 8 months

Our senior students need their playground back. We need $15,000 to upgrade and make safe our senior playground.

Waiheke Island, Auckland

Our playground is over ten years old and is now quite sad. The fall matting no longer meets safety standard and so the more dynamic components have had to be removed as a result. The Student Council has decided on some exciting new replacement parts such as spinning tornado rings, climbing race walls, and a new climbing nets. There are new hand/feet grips going up on the climbing logs and new rubber fall mats on the platforms. We are installing quality TigerTurf safety matting that will last for 25 years. TigerTurf means it can be used all year round, looks natural like grass, and drains water well. The total cost for the repairs and upgrade is $75,000 of which we have already raised $60,000. We just need another $15,000 to finish the job!
