Lismore Public School, New South Wales

Playing can promote a child’s brain development in many ways, including providing crucial life experiences to set the grounds for brain growth. Creativity is closely tied to divergent thinking, which explores many possible solutions and typically generates creative ideas. Many studies have found that playing is highly associated with divergent thinking. Playground markings are used to initiate imaginative play, encourage different learning styles and extend learning beyond the classroom, giving children a unique and timeless way of enjoying and achieving during break time. We recently had the opportunity to work closely with the team at Lismore Public School, New South Wales & transform their plain playground space into a bright, fun, and engaging learning space.
