Why Darwin Schools Need Playground Marking That Survives the Top End?
A primary school in Casuarina called us about their worn-out playground. The foursquare courts had faded to almost invisible after two wet seasons, and the intense sun had destroyed what remained. Kids argued constantly about whether balls were in or out. Teachers spent more time settling disputes than supervising play. We marked ten foursquare courts, eight hopscotch grids, a number snake, compass rose, and Australian map during the school holidays. All using tropical-grade UV-resistant paints in bright colours. The principal said the marking was still vibrant after two wet seasons. We made a timing error at a school in Palmerston in 2017. We marked just before the wet season started without allowing adequate curing time. The first heavy rain washed some marking away. We returned and remarked at our cost, around $1,400.
