Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School’s Transformation

Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School collaborated with Furnware, to design their new Middle School building. With input from staff and students, the project featured tailored furniture solutions across three levels, enhancing the educational experience for Grade Two to Grade Four students.

Over the course of several months, Furnware Business Development Manager, Sarah Smith assisted with the design for Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School’s new Middle School building which was completed in January of this year.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School, situated in Croydon Hills, Melbourne, Victoria, is committed to nurturing potential and pursuing excellence. In line with their vision, the school saw the opportunity to construct a new building specifically for Grade Two to Grade Four students. Principal Daniel Weller, who had prior experience with Furnware, welcomed Sarah’s involvement in this exciting project.

Before commencing the project, Daniel held a staff contribution meeting to gather insights on classroom expectations and design. He communicated the school’s requirements to Sarah, who, along with Business Manager Lauren, helped design multiple classrooms and communal breakout areas for the Middle school Building.

The selected furniture products were utilised throughout all levels of the building. Key choices included rectangle and square tables with castors, paired with Bodyfurn® chairs. Additionally, a whiteboard Paparoa table was accompanied by Round Ottomans. In the breakout spaces, a variety of seating options were provided, from stools to individual and collaborative soft furnishing products. Notably, Grade Two’s level featured two Mindfull Learning Huts to encourage small group collaboration.

The furniture was delivered for day one, term one which provided both staff and students with an exciting, brand-new learning environment to kick off their school year.
