WIRRIANDA SCHOOL

Architect: Wiltshire Swain Architects
Builder: FDC Building SA
Location: South Australia
Installed: 2020

The Problem

Wirrianda School required a new stage for its hall that would support assemblies, performances, and school events while providing safe and inclusive access for all users. The stage needed to function as a long-term feature of the space, offering a professional presentation for Front of House events and everyday school use.

The project required a solution that balanced functionality, accessibility, and aesthetics within a purpose-designed school hall.

The Constraints

The project presented several key constraints:

• Accessibility & Compliance: Wheelchair access and safe step access were essential

• Integration: The stage needed to work seamlessly with a Front of House curtain system

• Presentation: A high-quality finish was required to suit performances and formal events

• Permanent Use: The stage was designed for long-term, semi-permanent installation

Why Select Concepts Was Chosen

Select Concepts was chosen for its experience working with architects and builders to deliver compliant, high-quality modular staging solutions for educational environments. The QUATTRO Stage System provided the flexibility to meet the project’s access and design requirements while maintaining a refined, permanent appearance.

Our ability to integrate access solutions, handrails, fascia detailing, and curtain interfaces ensured a coordinated outcome across all stakeholders.

The Solution

Select Concepts supplied and installed a custom QUATTRO modular stage featuring:

• 10m x 5m stage, 600mm high

• Wheelchair access ramp with compliant gradients

• Tiered step access to the front of the stage

• Timber infill fascia panels for a clean, finished appearance

• Front of House retractable curtain system with a 6m drop

• Modular handrail package for safe access

• Black timber deck finish for durability and presentation

The Result

Wirrianda School now benefits from a safe, inclusive, and visually polished stage that supports a wide range of school activities. The integrated access solutions and professional finishes enhance usability while meeting compliance requirements.

The QUATTRO system delivers long-term reliability and flexibility, providing the school with a stage that performs as well behind the scenes as it does in front of an audience.
