Gumboots At School

We are absolutely loving our Nature Play Space at school. This is a popular space at both recess and lunch times, as well as some outdoor learning lessons taking place in this area.

One of the most popular sections of our Nature Play is our giant sandpit and water pump. The creativity and problem-solving displayed here is amazing. We love seeing the children work together to create tunnels, dams and castles.

We have noticed that some of our children who regularly play in the sandpit and with the water pump are having difficulty keeping their shoes looking presentable. Instead of discouraging the sandy, wet play, or asking our families to buy new shoes on a more regular basis, we are allowing our students to bring their own pair of gumboots to school to be worn when playing in the sand pit and with the water.

The gumboots cannot be worn in place of school shoes in any other activity other than sandpit, mud kitchen, and water (eg. if playing soccer or climbing on the log scramble they need to wear their normal school shoes).

Classrooms will have a designated area to store these gumboots if you wish to send along named gumboots to stay at school.

Gumboots can be purchased from places such as Kmart, Big W or Target, ranging from $8 - $20.
