Project Update: Raumati South School Outdoor Learning Space

Project update: The transformation is well underway at Raumati South School. When the school first came to us, the brief was clear.  They wanted a calm, natural space where tamariki aged five to ten could relax and connect, and where parents could gather at the end of the day. In short, a quiet heart for the school grounds, built to look great for years to come.

That vision is now taking shape on the ground. At the centre sits a Kāpiti Island mound, a sculpted landform that roots the space in its place and gives children a natural feature to climb, explore, and play around. Around it, flowing Pour’N’Play surfacing, stepping logs, and sculpted rocks bring the gentle humps and bumps the school was after, with longevity and low maintenance built in from the start.

Build Stats

• Total project area: 682 m²
• Security fencing erected and the existing surfacing marked out to show where each Pour’N’Play colour zone starts and stops
• Pour’N’Play surfacing underway, with the yellow ‘sand’ zone fully laid and curing
• Kāpiti Island mound installed and shockpad layer applied, top surface layer still to come
• Eight 3D Pour’N’Play rocks placed and installedFour Pour’N’Play balance balls installed
• Bench seating in progress, with curved orange and straight purple and blue seats going in
