A new space for parents and an array of garden animal sculptures were unveiled at Bowen Public School on Thursday.
"We are so thrilled with the result," principal Marianne Pankhurst said.
The outdoor seating area is dubbed "Nguluway," meaning "meeting place" in Wiradjuri language.
It features handmade wooden benches, stools, and a table under a wooden canopy.
Goannas, platypus, echidnas, and kangaroos made from sheet metal are littered throughout the cultural garden and on school walls.
The garden backs directly onto the school miniature dirt bike track and sports fields.
Former student Aunty Mary Croaker was the driving force behind both installations, working with Verto, Tidda Tradies, Tiffany Boys, and TAFE teachers Scott Edwards, Jaime Hurford, and Nathan Kelly.
"We are so grateful for the support," principal Pankhurst said.
