Turn rainwater into a greener space for learning.
RainForma rain gardens give schools a practical way to manage rainwater while
creating greener, more engaging outdoor spaces for students.
Our modular rain garden systems capture and filter stormwater while integrating
naturally into the school landscape, turning an everyday part of your school’s
infrastructure into a visible example of sustainability in action.
More than a rain garden
A RainForma rain garden can do more than help manage stormwater.
It can transform an underutilized area of the school grounds into an attractive landscape feature while providing students with a real world opportunity to see environmental systems at work. Depending on the school and location, a rain garden can support learning and
discussion around:
- The water cycle
- Stormwater and water management
- Natural filtration
- Sustainability
- Plants and ecosystems
- Environmental responsibility
- Biodiversity
Beautiful landscapes. Cleaner water. Better learning opportunities.
Manage rainwater differently
Why RainForma for schools?
Capture selected roof water and stormwater and direct it through a purpose designed
rain garden where water can be slowed and filtered before continuing through the drainage system.
Create greener school grounds
Turn practical stormwater infrastructure into an attractive planted feature that can
complement existing gardens, pathways and outdoor areas.
Create a hands-on learning resource
A rain garden can become a visible environmental feature teachers and students can use when exploring water, plants, sustainability and biodiversity.
Make use of underutilised spaces
RainForma’s modular approach provides opportunities to introduce rain gardens into
suitable areas of existing school grounds without requiring a major landscape
redevelopment.
A complete, coordinated system
RainForma brings the key components of the rain garden together into one coordinated solution, with guidance and project support to help make planning and implementation straightforward.
See What Could Work at Your School
Every school is different.
The available space, existing landscaping, roof catchments and stormwater infrastructure all influence where a rain garden may work best. That’s why RainForma offers schools a complimentary, no obligation rain garden. Assessment One of our team can visit your school, meet with the appropriate staff member, and walk through the grounds to identify potential opportunities.
During the visit, we can explore:
- Suitable locations within the school grounds
- Opportunities to utilise existing roof water and stormwater
- How a rain garden could complement existing landscaping and outdoor areas
- Opportunities for the garden to become an educational resource for students
- Practical options based on your school’s available space and requirements
There is no obligation to proceed following the assessment.
The first step is simply to understand your school and explore what may be possible.

Sustainability in Action
A Visible Example of Sustainability in Action
Schools have a unique opportunity to make sustainability something students can see. experience and understand. A RainForma rain garden takes something that normally disappears down a drain rainwater and makes its journey visible. Students can see how water moves through the landscape, how plants and filtration media interact with stormwater and how thoughtful design can contribute to greener, more sustainable environments. At the same time, the school gains an attractive landscape feature with a practical stormwater management purpose. It’s a simple idea with the potential to create a lasting feature for the whole school community.
