Walking around out the back of Antonio Park Primary School, it's easy to forget you're in the middle of the suburbs. We are lucky to have maintained untouched bushland at the back of our school that borders the historic Antonio Park. Here, you can find our 'bush playground' and the homes for our chickens and goats. Antonio Park's location is unique, representing a wonderful example for our students about the importance of looking after our environment and living sustainably.

Indigenous Nature Trail

In 2025, Antonio Park's Indigenous Nature Trail was officially opened. Meandering through native vegetation, our Indigenous Nature Trail includes worksites where students can observe and engage with the surrounding environment. It includes bird hides, a frog pond and zones planted to attract butterflies - making it a small haven for biodiversity. Students engage in hands-on, immersive learning about science and sustainability, in line with our strong environmental connection. 

Our Indigenous Nature Trail acts as a living classroom, where students monitor local flora, fauna, water system and engage in ongoing environmental projects, as well as fostering respect for relationships within ecosystems and Aboriginal culture.

Our Indigenous Nature Trail is a unique school area where the environment and the classroom come together as an authentic learning environment for our students.

Play Spaces

The playground, courts, oval and other sporting facilities at Antonio Park encourage our students to be active and engaged in their sport and play. In 2024 our oval was completed and looks spectacular!

APPS boasts the best facilities in the area with soccer goals, football goals, a cricket pitch and plenty of space for everyone to play.

At Antonio Park Primary School, we have a strong commitment to sustainability and the value of a beautiful environment to live and work in.

You'll probably see our chickens roaming freely around the school when you come for a visit. They're friendly and are an integral part of our community - our students love to have chickens in their school and classes take it in turn to collect eggs and look after them with plenty of fun and care.
