Melbourne-based company Imagination Play designed and built the playground.

The ninja course has proved very popular already with students.

Edward Public School assistant principal Adam Bodey said the added advantage is the design allows the children to improve their gross motor, fitness and coordination skills.

“The project came about and was purchased by the school to support one of Edward’s main priorities – student wellbeing and engagement,” Mr Bodey said.

“The students have been displaying resilience, determination and sportsmanship as they have been trying hard to navigate and master the various implements.

“We have received a lot of positive feedback from students, parents and the broader community already.”
