Classroom Upgrade at Sir Douglas Bader School, NZ

In 2025, Sir Douglas Bader School in New Zealand undertook a significant classroom upgrade aimed at enhancing the learning environment through modern, functional design. A key feature of this upgrade was the integration of our Whiteboard Cabinet Slider a product known for its sleek design, durability, and space-saving functionality.

Implementation

The installation was carried out during the mid-year break to minimise disruption. Each classroom was fitted with a Vision Whiteboard Cabinet, strategically placed to serve as the focal point for instruction. Teachers received a brief orientation on how to maximise the cabinet’s features for lesson delivery and student engagement.

Outcomes

  • Enhanced Teaching Efficiency: Teachers reported smoother transitions between subjects and better organisation of lesson materials.
  • Increased Student Engagement: The interactive nature of the sliding panels encouraged more student participation.
  • Optimised Space Usage: The cabinets freed up wall space that was previously cluttered with multiple boards and storage units.
  • Positive Feedback: Both staff and students appreciated the modern look and functionality of the new installations.

Conclusion

The classroom upgrade at Sir Douglas Bader School demonstrates how thoughtful design and quality products like the Vision Whiteboard Cabinet can transform educational spaces. This project not only improved the physical environment but also contributed to a more dynamic and engaging learning experience.
