Freemasons Park – BLENNZ Outdoor Learning Environment

December 12, 2014

On the 14th November the diggers rolled onto the campus to begin the construction of the BLENNZ Outdoor Learning Environment.

The design is the result of Jill Rice, an experienced landscape designer, working closely with BLENNZ staff to create a unique environment to support the learning of all BLENNZ ākonga coming onto the campus.

It is a space for building independence while their health and wellbeing is protected and nurtured.

A space where they can explore, experience, socialise and be challenged.

We thank the Potter Masonic Trust and the Northern Division Freemasons for their generous support in enabling this dream to come to fruition through their substantial gifts.
