Throughout the process, Creo focused on providing the school with clear communication and expert support, ensuring key Creo staff were available to discuss the project with school staff at any time. From Matthew’s perspective, this was an important step in building a solid, long-term relationship with Creo.

“For me personally, it was important to be working with the right people. Having people there that can support you through the process. People that were available and just a phone call away that you can have that connection with and build that relationship with. That was really important to me as Principal.”

For the Board of Trustees, it was the value they were getting that mattered most – making sure the school was making the best use of its capital and getting maximum ‘bang for buck’. It was here that Creo really shined, coming up with some unique design features to utilise parts of the old playground, that would otherwise have been wasted, to keep costs down.

Matthew says, “The students have loved using the spaces. We created a peaked mound area that we thought they would sit on and hang out on, but they actually love playing football on it, and actually having the gradient makes it even more exciting for them. It’s allowed them to really explore their creativity.”
