Dream Playground Opened By Marian SAMPSON
SALT Ash Public School has it’s new playground. The School is a community hub in a community which is dealing with issues including the Red Zone. 87 Students attend the Primary School and all of them will benefit from this wonderful new facility. The project took four years of hard work and cost $65,000; was funded by the School’s fantastic Parents and Citizens (P&C) who fundraised for four years to turn a dream into a reality.
