New playground brings joy to Fiona girls

The first day of school for 2016 was a day of celebration in Fiona, as finally the girls were able to enjoy the new playground equipment that was installed over the holidays.</h3

The integration of the garden with the equipment provides an exciting new area for the girls to explore. They swung and climbed and slid excitedly, enjoying the challenge of the new pieces while working out how best to share them and be safe. It was particularly pleasing to hear the girls’ suggestions for rules, in order to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone.
