In partnership with the University of Sydney, students designed a sensory garden and planted it out with help from their families.
Teachers aid Deina Hines said it was previously out of bounds and unused.
"It was a bit of an eyesore so we came up with an idea to beautify that area," she said.
The garden includes a glade of teapots and cups, crops of strawberries and herbs and a music wall where students can experiment with chimes and drums, with a snake-shaped path running through.
"It has different sections so when they take their shoes off, they can walk through grass and logs," Mrs Hines said.
An art installation made by the students features a wall of fish with a couple swimming the other way, symbolising it's okay to be different.
