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.
Objectives
Improve classroom aesthetics and functionality.
Maximise wall space for both teaching and storage.
Provide a flexible teaching tool that supports interactive learning.
Ensure durability and ease of maintenance in a high-use environment.
The Vision Whiteboard Cabinet was selected for its:
Sliding panel system that allows for multiple writing surfaces and hidden storage.
Customisable design, enabling integration with existing classroom aesthetics.
Durability, built for high-traffic educational environments.
Ease of use, allowing teachers to transition between topics or hide content as needed.
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.
