As Term 3 gets underway, we’re excited to reconnect with schools and education professionals across Queensland. This month, we’re pleased to be exhibiting at the SBMAQ State Conference at Stand 15, where we’re showcasing practical hydration and outdoor infrastructure solutions designed specifically for school environments.
Whether you’re attending the conference or reading from afar, this edition is packed with ideas to help create healthier, more sustainable, and more functional learning spaces. From our Australian-made chilled hydration stations and bottle refill retrofits to durable outdoor furniture that brings students and communities together, we’re sharing solutions that make a lasting impact.
If you’re attending SBMAQ, be sure to stop by Stand 15 to meet the team, explore our latest products, and chat about your school’s upcoming projects. We look forward to seeing you there!

Creating Better Outdoor Learning Spaces
Great school spaces encourage students to gather, collaborate, and recharge.
The PT06 Picnic Table combines contemporary styling with exceptional durability, creating welcoming outdoor areas for lunch breaks, group learning, and everyday campus life.
Recent research published in the journal Buildings highlights that the design of school public spaces has a direct impact on campus safety and the overall student experience. Features such as clear sightlines, open layouts, accessible pathways, and thoughtfully planned gathering areas help improve visibility, encourage positive social interaction, and create more welcoming learning environments.
As schools continue to evolve, integrating practical amenities such as drinking fountains, seating, and well-designed outdoor spaces plays an important role in creating campuses enjoyable for students and staff alike.
