Northcote Intermediate School engaged WiPath, the leader in electronic school LED signage to provide an electronic signage solution for their student-centred learning environment. Now proudly displayed at the front of the school is an impressive plinth style digital LED sign.
WiPath was chosen for this project, due to our extensive experience of installing electronic LED sign solutions in schools, with over 300 installations to date. Our solutions incorporate both static and dynamic signage on a wide variety of customised structures to suit individual school environments and allow for any special community requirements.
Northcote Intermediate principal, Ben Kelsey said: “We believe in promoting a love of learning and an interest in the local and global environment through our curriculum. We wanted our signage to reflect our values, look great, promote our school, and make communication with the wider community easier. However, our biggest demand was for us to be able to effectively share our student’s outstanding success stories in: sport, culture, and performing arts.
After a consultation with WiPath, a large double-sided sign was chosen and mounted perpendicular to the road to ensure the best visibility for passing traffic in both directions.
Traditional signage requires skills in graphic design, signwriting fabrication and construction whilst electronic signage requires additional skills in electronics, IT and communications and this is where WiPath’s expertise came in. WiPath puts together a team encompassing all these skills for each project working with traditional signwriting companies, fabricators and installers and adding our own expertise in the technical aspects of these projects.
With our track record of supplying over 80 percent of electronic school signs in New Zealand and over 200 schools signs in NSW, QLD and WA, WiPath was trusted by Northcote Intermediate School to provide the high-quality solution they sought. One that would meet their unique requirements.
Ben said: “Not only does our new digital signage look fantastic it is also very easy to use. It is quick and simple to upload messages, this suits our needs because we like to share information often, this digital signage solution saves us time.”
He added: “We are very happy with our new sign, we believe that it perfectly reflects our student-centred school ethos. WiPath supplied and installed the sign and we were satisfied with the total cost of the project. I was particularly impressed with how well they communicated with us before, during and after the installation, the attention to detail, follow up and after care service was superb. I would highly recommend WiPath.”
