Sydney Children’s Hospital School Thrives with Gilkon

Sydney Children’s Hospital School has started 2019 with a skip in its step thanks to a sig­nif­i­cant classroom tech­nol­o­gy upgrade.

Thanks to a donation from OfficeMax, the school’s classroom has as its learning cen­tre­piece, a BenQ in­ter­ac­tive display on a motorised Gilkon ad­justable mount.

The school plays an important role in the life of the Sydney Children’s Hospital. Kids can find them­selves in the hospital for weeks or even months at a time, and thanks to the on-site primary school their education need not be entirely placed on hold. What’s more siblings of sick kids who are from out of town can also enrol.

The heavy-duty Gilkon mount features one-touch operation of the electric lift. The mechanism is whisper quiet and totally safe from prying fingers. The Gilkon mount is man­u­fac­tured in Australia and is stability tested in Australia using N.A.T.A guide­lines.

“We couldn’t be happier with our new touch­screen,” enthused classroom teacher Eliza Johnson. “We educate children of every physical ability, some in wheel­chairs, and the Gilkon motorised mount makes it very easy to include each and every child in the ac­tiv­i­ties of the classroom.”
