New equipment and colours bring vibrancy to once bland areas.

Glamorgan School is located on Auckland’s North Shore, catering for children from primary school years 1 to 6.

With two separate courtyard spaces sitting tired and uninspiring, Janet Pinchen, Principal of Glamorgan School, saw an opportunity to better utilise the areas and transform them into creative breakout spaces for the students to extend their learning outside of the classroom.

With the help of the Schools Investment Package (SIP) funding, Park Supplies were contacted to help bring the courtyards to life. From the outset Janet found the whole process enjoyable and easy, “Mel was so easy to deal with. She’s a great communicator and kept us updated every step of the way.”

Getting the project underway in August 2021 with the digging out of the existing space, progress was soon halted due to the lockdown.

“Although we hit a few roadblocks initially I was really impressed with how hard working and efficient the Park Supplies team were. When the students and faculty came back in November the breakout spaces were completed and have been an absolute hit ever since”, said Janet.

Bringing opportunities for play, learning, and collaboration, the new breakout spaces have proven to be a huge success amongst the students. Janet says,

“the children absolutely love them. The colours have brought a vibrancy to these once bland areas, and students of all ages have found great enjoyment from the reinvigorated spaces. Instead of losing space we have gained so much, from the raised stage for learning and play, to the theatre area for singing and performances, we’ve gained extra workspaces and extended our classrooms to the outdoors”.

When asked what advice she had for other schools looking to employ Park Supplies for their next playground project, Janet was clear, “they have great ideas. They’re true experts and know what can be achieved within the space. I would be more than happy to work with Park Supplies on our next playground project”.
