Students as Designers: The St Peter’s Nature Play Space Project

Young minds, big ideas, beautiful spaces – from imagination to reality. The St Peter’s Nature Play Space Project transformed an underutilised area into an engaging outdoor learning environment for Pre-Kindergarten to Year Two students. Through the St Peter’s TRUE Inquiry process, students’ voices were central to every stage of the project. Their ideas informed the design and development of the nature play area. This authentic co-design process fostered creativity, problem-solving and collaboration. The inquiry connected student learning to a meaningful purpose, demonstrating how even the youngest learners can be active contributors to creating their environment.
