Play area revitalised

By Lachlan Ellis

A local primary school has given its play area a much-needed update this month, with both repainting and new designs completed.

Lal Lal Primary School proudly showed off its eye-catching play area on social media last Monday, and students are already making good use of the vibrantly designed games such as hopscotch and twister.

Lal Lal Primary School’s Principal, Siobhan Gosney, said the new playground markings had created “a real buzz amongst the students”, and thanked the community for chipping in for the updates.

“The old markings were done over 15 years ago and looking tired, so it was time to update them. The school community has worked very hard to fundraise for them over a number of years. Without fundraising, this would be too expensive for a little school,” Ms Gosney told the Moorabool News.

“The students looked at the available designs, and chose to keep some of the original designs as well as add new ones that are more culturally inclusive. We have had many comments about the bright new images, and it’s great to see the students interacting with them.”

Ms Gosney also thanked the crew at Brighter Lines for their work on the playground markings.
