OPAL Play at Bricknell
At our school, we believe that play is not just a fun activity, it is a fundamental part of a child’s learning journey. That’s why we are proud to embrace OPAL play, an award-winning program that transforms our playgrounds into vibrant spaces for exploration, imagination, and development.
