Kingsley Park would like to say a Huge “THANK YOU” to Jaime Ramos from the Sixth Child for organising to transform our old sandpit area into a new play space. Jamie along with a team of tradespeople and helpers joined volunteers from the Kingsley Park community, who had all volunteered their time, to help create this amazing new area.

There is a Basketball ring that can be raised and lowered, a Chess Table and a ball shooter that we call “Captain underpants!”

This area was initially created so that one of our students, Tate who is wheelchair bound, was able to join in playground activities at school. This area is open for children to use during school hours. Jaime’s passion and drive to oversee the project and the generosity of The Sixth Child to get this massive project happening for Kingsley Park was certainly one of our Kingsley Park 2022 highlights along with a exceptionally strong feeling of community support. So many members of the Kingsley community have commented how refreshing it is to see the value of “looking out for others” and we are delighted to see that in action!

In addition to this project Kingsley Park received the materials and had built and filled two new sandpits to replace the old one!! We also continue to receive amazing prizes from The Sixth Child for our Kingsley Park “Positive Shoutouts” for our Kingsley Kids. The children’s names are placed on the wheel to be picked by the computer every two weeks in four different age levels. At the end of every term a larger prize is awarded to students in line with our values!

What would we do without the Sixth Child?
