The schools' parents and citizens association ran the fundraiser during the UCI Road World Championships in September.
P&C President, Angelina Neira said she couldn't believe how many people heard about the fundraiser and trekked up the hill for a fresh coffee.
"It was pretty amazing, and our whole school community was brought to life, we are all speechless with the outcome," Mrs Neira said.
"This is unprecedented for a public event at our little school, because we are so out of the general flow of general traffic."
Students at the school have been without a playground since the beginning of the year.
The parents want to build a complete multi sensory adventure space for the 88 children who attend the school.
