Environmental Learning Area (ELA)
At our school, we are committed to fostering environmental awareness and sustainability through a range of hands-on learning experiences. Our dedicated Environmental Learning Area (ELA) is a vibrant, interactive space that includes vegetable and herb gardens, a tropical rainforest zone, and a variety of fruit trees. This space provides students with regular opportunities to engage in gardening, explore ecosystems, and learn about sustainable practices in a real-world setting.
Nature Play Area
Marshall Road State School is a vibrant inner-city school nestled within the Holland Park West suburb, bordered by the Birdwood Road M3 flyover. While our compact site limits opportunities for physical expansion, we have thoughtfully maximised every inch of space to create rich, stimulating environments for our students.
Our grounds feature natural play spaces where children can climb trees, build cubbies and engage in imaginative 'loose parts' play.
We passionately advocate for the importance of outdoor play, recognising its positive impact on learning, health, and wellbeing. Our school expectations, 'We are Safe, We are Caring, We are Learners' reflects our commitment to creating a purposeful, supportive environment where every student can thrive.
