Tree House Grand Opening
Tree House Grand Opening
On Friday, 19 February we will be hosting the Grand Opening of the Nexus Tree House.
As part of the design stage of this campus, learners were invited to share they ideas for a safe, fun and healthy playspace. A treehouse was one of their suggestions and it is fantastic that we were able to build that suggestion into our school. The Nexus Treehouse is a wonderful 3-storey play space for our younger learners in Nursery to Year 2, which includes a 'roof-top' open place space, a large shaded reading mezzanine level and slide.
This week some of our Secondary School learners have been using the space as a wonderful al fresco drama and, as it is ‘in the round’, naturally evokes Shakespeare’s Globe theatre. It was perfect to set scenes from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
All Year 1 and Year 2 learners will be celebrating the Grand Opening with a range of activities throughout the day. On that day all learners will be provided with a special picnic lunch so they DO NOT need to bring any lunch. Children will still need to bring a healthy morning snack. We ask that learners wear their full school uniform for the day and also bring with them a their HPE shorts and HPE t-shirt in case a change of clothes is required.
