Swansea Public School’s students are used to sliding and climbing on play equipment but now they’re also balancing, spinning and digging. Funding from NSW Clubgrants and a P&C donation has brought a major upgrade to their outdoor play area, with brightly coloured new slides and climbing frames but also a balancing bridge, spinner crossing, rock wall and throwing target. The old mulch has been replaced with cleaner and durable rubber softfall.

Official opening: Thursday 7 December, 9.45 am
