Collaboration with Rotorua Boys High School

Rotorua Boys High School worked with class* to outfit 4 classrooms with new furniture. We asked Principal Chris Grinter how he found working with us.

What swung your decision the way of class*?

We were looking for some bright yet practical furniture that would be suitable for both individual seating as well as group work. class* listened to our needs, then worked with us to design the perfect table we’d been looking for, then built it at a competitive price. 

And your new furniture meets expectations?

We now have 4 classrooms fitted out with the new furniture, and the students are loving being able to work comfortably in groups of anything from 2 to 10. As teachers we can see that the students respect the room more, enjoy being taught in the space and are able to have more engaging learning activities thanks to the variety of seating arrangements that can easily be made. Teachers love the practicality of being able to sit students separately for assessments and then quickly group them together for collaborative learning. A perfect combination for a modern learning environment.

Was there one thing that really made class* stand out?

The individual attention we received and the quality of the product.  From the beginning, when we had a personal visit to listen to what we wanted and see the spaces we were working with, through to the arrival of the samples and finally the full delivery of the furniture, there is nothing I wouldn’t highly recommended about this company. 

Outcomes:

• Pupils more engaged in their lessons
• Fast transit from single-use stations to collaborative learning
• Pupils have more respect for the space they’re taught in

For over 25 years, class* has worked with schools around New Zealand (and further afield), helping them make the right choices for their particular needs.
