COURTYARD REVITALIZATION
BJHS is a Grade 7-9 school located in Brooks, Alberta. In the middle of our school we have a courtyard we are going to transform into a great learning and social space!
Clear out the dead and get ready to grow the new!
About
Our project started small and has grown to be something that will impact the whole school. We want to do so many things with our space and have big plans.
This courtyard provides our students with an area that can be an outdoor social and learning space. We are excited about our progress so far and our projects to come!
Project Plan
We have BIG plans!
From the installation of picnic tables and benches, to the creation of art murals, the courtyard will not look the same again. We also plan to:
-grow a vinewall
-create a vegetable garden
-rainwater collection system
-pergola for shade
-beautify with flowers
-drip irrigation for conservation
