Guardian Angels Catholic Primary School in Ashmore on the Gold Coast had a clear goal: revitalise its Year 3 classrooms to better support collaborative, flexible learning. In April 2023, the school partnered with Sebel to bring that vision to life.

Principal Danielle Carter came to Sebel with a specific need: furniture that could support a variety of layout options for different group sizes, teaching styles and age groups. The school had worked with Sebel before, and that existing relationship informed the approach.
“We have been using Sebel for many years as we transformed our learning spaces to be contemporary environments.”
Working closely with a Sebel representative, the school used Sebel’s design app to map out the spaces and explore furniture configurations before committing to a direction.
Sebel provided multiple furniture concepts and colour suggestions for the Year 3 spaces, giving staff a clear picture of how different layouts could work in practice. The final specification balanced seated and standing options, writable surfaces and shared tables — creating spaces that could flex between whole-class instruction, small group work and one-on-one support.
Products specified included Twist’n’Lock™ Tables across a variety of heights and shapes, Postura® Max Chairs, Postura® Plus Stools for high tables, and soft furnishings to create a comfortable breakout area.
The staff at Sebel helped create agile, personalised, engaging and flexible learning spaces that supported and aligned to our vision. The spaces Sebel helped us create engage and inspire a love of learning for our students.
The refurbished classrooms gave students and staff spaces that feel purposeful and inviting — and the response has reflected that. Principal Carter also noted the quality of the service throughout the project.
“Their team are truly amazing in their knowledge of educational space design. The staff are approachable, are always happy to help and have great follow-up service. The high quality of the products is valued — knowing that the investment into learning spaces is of an exceptional standard.”
