A quiet corner, one term on
Kingston Heights Primary School · Kingston, ACT · Sensory garden
Funded by families and a regional partner, the garden is now the busiest quiet space in the school.
Sample content — these campaigns are illustrative examples while we build the site.
- Raised
- $10,800
- What was delivered
- Sensory garden with textured paths, scented planting and a shaded seat
The school raised $6,800 from its community; a regional partner seeded the remaining $4,000 through Ready Fund Grow.
The garden opened at the start of Term 1 and is booked by classes as well as used at recess.
Staff report fewer playground incidents involving students from the support unit.
“It is the first thing we show new families.”
