The Playground
In 2018 we partnered with East African Playgrounds to construct a playground at St Michael’s. The pupils now reap the huge benefits of play time, which they never had before the playground was installed.
The playground at St Michael’s is a source of joy and fun for all the Nursery and Primary pupils and allows them dedicated play time away from chores and school work.
Studies have shown that early play experiences improve a child’s physical growth, their capacity for learning, chances of finishing school, future employability, and even personal income (Playground Ideas, 2015).
Play is so fundamental for children’s development, learning and wellbeing that it is enshrined in Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child:
“Every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.”
