School courtyard transformation begins

This summer, the courtyard of the primary school René-Cassin has begun a major transformation, aiming to create a more natural and child-friendly environment. The project involves removing traditional surfaces and replacing them with green spaces that encourage play and exploration.

New features for children

Students have already started using the redesigned courtyard, which includes a playful basin, beams, and vines forming an agility course. These features have sparked enthusiasm among the children, who enjoy the new opportunities for physical activity and creativity.

Focus on nature and development

The project emphasizes biodiversity and provides a space where children can interact with nature. While the new environment may leave some dirt on clothes, it offers a dynamic setting for movement, exploration, and growth. The transformation is part of a larger effort to improve the quality of life for students.

Project timeline and completion

The courtyard redesign is an ongoing process, with the final phase expected to be completed by the start of the 2027 school year. Once finished, the space will serve as a development environment for students from both schools in the school group.

Public celebration planned

To mark the first phase of the project, the municipality has organized a public event on Friday, October 30, from 13:00 to 18:00. Visitors can explore the new courtyard, and a convivial tea will be provided by the commune for children, teachers, and families.

Mayor highlights climate and quality of life

Nicolas Cartailler, mayor of Remoulins, emphasized that the greening of school courtyards is part of the commune’s commitment to adapting to climate change and improving children’s quality of life. He noted the importance of providing students with a stimulating and natural environment.

Councilor praises community response

Frédéric Fargier, the municipal councilor in charge of School Affairs, expressed satisfaction with the positive reception from families and students. He highlighted the value of the new courtyard as a space designed specifically for the development and well-being of the children of Remoulins.
