**UPDATE**

So far one very kind family has offered a donation as well as physical help but this is not really enough to save the Prep Tunnel. If you can assist in anyway, please email Mrs Morgan as soon as possible. If we can't get some input, we may see the end of the Prep Tunnel.

One of the longstanding features in the Prep playgrounds is the big cement tunnel and dirt mound that is easily visible from Nicholson Street. The tunnel is particularly enjoyed by our Prep students as they can get up high and they love to run up and over the top. Recently, the retaining walls that supported the soil on either side of the entrance to the tunnel on both ends had to be removed due to rotten timbers. This much loved item in the playground has now become a safety concern as the soil is collapsing around the ends of the tunnel and the feature is looking a little unloved. We would like to put a call out to parents, particularly anyone with building know-how to volunteer to give our tunnel a bit of a facelift. This may include replacing the retaining walls that were removed and also updating the protective tubing that prevents injury on the edges on the cement ends on the tunnel. Perhaps the part of the cement that can been seen could do with a groovy paint job. The softfall at the entrances to the tunnel also needs some maintenance. Our Preppies would love to see their favourite tunnel updated and improved so here's a chance to give something to our College and make a stamp on something that our Prep students enjoy at school.

If you think you can help, please contact the College via Mrs Kathy Morgan on Kathy.Morgan@twb.catholic.edu.au
