Grounds and buildings

Playground from above

Ridgway is a well-resourced school with a new, well-stocked library, networked computers in every classroom and a computer suite. We have large, open playing areas, with a lower playing field and a newly-built adventure playground, developed thanks to the fundraising efforts of parents at last year’s school gala.

In 2009 we completed development of a multipurpose classroom - the ‘Big Space’ - next to B3 which is used for shared activities, assemblies, displays and meetings.

The school buildings are divided into three areas:

  • the school administration block and ‘A’ area for our junior students – this also houses the library,
  • the ‘Big Space’ and ‘B’ area for our year 3-5 students, and
  • the ‘C’ area for our senior (year 6-8) students.

 

Ridway field looking southNext to the C area is a small garden where our sustainability group has been learning about planting and maintaining – and harvesting! - a vegetable patch.

Below the school is a playing field maintained by Wellington City Council where many of the school’s sporting activities (and weekend sporting fixtures) are held.
