Why Canberra Schools Need Playground Marking That Survives ACT Weather?
A primary school in Weston Creek called us about their worn-out playground. The foursquare courts were so faded kids argued constantly about whether balls were in or out. Teachers spent more time settling disputes than supervising play. The school wanted bright, durable marking before the new term. We marked ten foursquare courts, six hopscotch grids, a number snake, compass rose, and Australian map during the school holidays. All in bright UV-stable colours designed to handle Canberra's hot summers and cold winters. The principal said playground behaviour improved dramatically. We made a size error at a school in Tuggeranong in 2017. We marked foursquare courts at competition size, but the school had mostly junior students. Little arms couldn't cover the big squares. We remarked at junior size at our cost, around $1,200.
