Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Specialist School students have had a playful start back to school with the recent launch of its new playground.

The recently finished playground is located at the Sunbury campus, and the students have enjoyed trying out the new equipment.

School principal Joanne Nolan said the inclusive playground is an update from the previous one which was about 20 years old.

“The kids love it…it’s a safe and inclusive playground for kids of all abilities to access,” Mrs Nolan said.

“We can use [the playground] to undertake some therapy, like physio… which can support kids to develop their mobility skills.

Mrs Nolan said it can also be used in teaching to help develop students’ play skills.
