The other factor worth considering with this school is it is a grade K-3 school. The Grade 4-7 School, Graham David School, is within a 10-minute walk from Collingwood. It would be worth exploring if there could be a partnership or buddy classes available for some of the activities.

The area is very residential, with a mixture of houses and complexes in the general area. The buildings are relatively newer and many of them have well maintained gardens that could be observed and used as a way to facilitate lessons, discussions and activities surrounding indoor and outdoor gardening. Furthermore, under the Skytrain tracks there are plots of land along lined pathways that we believe have the potential to house urban garden spaces, which could additional facilitate outdoor and experiential education.

Central Park in Burnaby is also located within a 20 minute walk of the school, and is more forested than the closer parks to the school. The drawback to using this park is having to walk a greater distance to the facility which requires crossing two very busy intersections - Kingsway and Boundary Road. From a safety standpoint the trip is doable, but there is a higher potential for risk because of the types of crossings that are required. That being said, with the proper resources and support the trip is feasible, and the space off terns a unique natural environment and ecosystem.

At Collingwood Park (a 10 minute walk from the school) there is a small wading pool that, according to a teacher and seasonal summer camp leader out of Collingwood School, has water in it during the summer months beginning in mid-July. The summer camp leader/teacher was adamant that the pool was ideal for short field trips with the children because of its proximity to the school and engaging surrounding environment. We also noticed that every child in the group was participating in active play in the space.

Because Collingwood School is attached to the Neighbourhood House development, this could mean that there is a potential to use other facilities not owned by the school district, in partnership with Neighbourhood House of Greater Vancouver.

The neighbourhood surrounding Collingwood Neighbourhood School is welcoming and equipped with an array of community resources to encourage outdoor education and experiential learning. That being said, care must be taken to keep the young students safe from possible issues arising from a transient population.

The focus of our community analysis was Colligwood K-3 Neighbourhood School located in Vancouver within walking distance to Joyce Street Skytrain station. The objective of our analysis was to locate outdoor areas and resources around the school that would be effective for facilitating outdoor learning activities, for the purpose of encouraging outdoor education and authentic experiences for students in nature.
