What are COLAs?
Covered Outdoor Learning Areas (otherwise known as C.O.L.As) are custom outdoor structures that are purpose-built for school programs and activities, serving as excellent learning and recreation environments. Offering complete weather protection all-year-round against the harsh Australian elements, COLAs have gained nationwide approval as the preferred solution for optimising outdoor learning outcomes.
Rain, hail or shine, COLAs offer refuge, safety and sun protection to students and staff for school assemblies, play, recess and lunch periods, special events, concerts, performances, sports, and outdoor classes.
