Jeavons has received a Commendation in the 2025 Learning Environments Australasia Awards.
Melton Specialist School
Commendation: Landscaping / Outdoor Learning Area
“Jeavons Landscape Architects clearly understood & adhered to the Melton Specialist School educational brief for this project. The design of the Early Years Outdoor Learning Area has created sensory rich, outdoor, play/learning areas for the students. Spaces have been redefined, enabling students to move beyond their ‘built’ classrooms into engaging places where their broad spectrum of needs can be met whilst ensuring safety, accessibility, ease of circulation as well as vital line of sight for educators.”
-Award Jury
“The hammock swing, tactile paths and surfaces, in-ground trampolines, pebble creek with water pump and quiet niche spaces all provide differing sensory inputs for student engagement with each other and with themselves. The original brief of repurposing and developing an outdoor play area was certainly surpassed with the school now having a sensory rich, engaging outdoor world that has transformed the educational & aesthetic landscape of the entire school.”
