Case study: Northern Beaches Christian School

Playground solutions that inspire world-class play experiences in schools

KOMPAN was chosen to transform the outdoor playground at Northern Beaches Christian School in Sydney, with the aim of enhancing children's love of learning both inside and outside the classroom. What did we do? We provided an eye-catching, bespoke design for the school, including a large custom-made rope climbing structure and freestanding playground equipment such as slides and bouncing equipment - All covered by our industry-leading warranty.

Since the opening of the new, one-of-a-kind playground, both children and parents have been overwhelmingly supportive of the space. Physical activity during recess and lunch has skyrocketed, and students are now emotionally, physically, and socially fulfilled.

“We love learning here at NBCS, and we love it inside and beyond the classroom. What we’ve been working on … is to ensure that the campus is the classroom – inside and out.”

- Tim Watson, Principal at Northern Beaches Christian School, Sydney

Improve learning and attentiveness with a good school playground

Children's classroom learning is deeply intertwined with play and activity. It's through play that they embark on journeys of exploration, self-discovery, and personal growth, gaining insights into the world around them and honing their physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities.

Having an appropriate school oval playground plays a pivotal role in a child's capacity to learn and flourish academically. Whether it's climbing structures like our playground climbing nets that enhance logical thinking and spatial awareness or spinning activities that improve balance, educational playground equipment directly contributes to the development of skills essential for students' learning and well-rounded growth.

In addition to offering play equipment for development, it is also crucial in Australia to promote equity in school playgrounds. This is why KOMPAN provides a range of inclusive outdoor playground equipment for schools.
