Key Facts:
- EduMarking provides thermoplastic playground markings for public schools across Australia, offering a durable alternative as public schools face growing capital budget pressure without access to a permanent federal capital funding stream.
- Unlike traditional painted markings, which can fade and become slippery within 12 to 18 months, EduMarking's heat-bonded thermoplastic markings carry a five-year warranty and typically last seven or more years, reducing the need for repeated repainting cycles.
- Research indicates that movement can increase concentration and classroom engagement by 75%, yet outdoor learning spaces are often among the first upgrades deferred by public schools facing tight budgets.
- EduMarking supports school principals and business managers with documentation for budget submissions, capital works planning, and funding applications, alongside a predictable seven-year rejuvenation schedule to assist with long-term maintenance planning.
- The company operates across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia, offering installations including number grids, active play circuits, court markings, and structured learning layouts designed to support literacy, numeracy, and physical activity.
SYDNEY, AU - May 2026 - EduMarking is helping public schools create long lasting playground markings and outdoor learning spaces as principals face growing capital budget pressure. The company's growth comes as the Commonwealth's Non-Government School Capital Grants Program is projected to deliver almost $3 billion to private schools, while public schools remain without access to a permanent federal capital stream.
For many public schools, this funding gap means outdoor spaces are often among the first upgrades to be deferred. Playground improvements and outdoor learning areas may be seen as secondary to more urgent infrastructure needs, despite movement increasing concentration and classroom engagement by 75%.
For schools working within tight budgets, EduMarking's thermoplastic playground markings offer a more durable alternative to traditional paint. While painted markings can fade and become slippery within 12 to 18 months of installation, thermoplastic markings are heat-bonded directly to existing asphalt and concrete surfaces. EduMarking's installations carry a five-year product warranty and typically last seven or more years under normal school use.
This longer lifespan can help schools avoid three to four repainting cycles over the same period, reducing the repeated material, and labour costs that come with maintaining painted playground markings.
EduMarking also supports school business managers and principals with documentation for budget submissions, capital works planning and funding applications. The company offers a predictable seven-year rejuvenation schedule, helping schools plan future maintenance instead of waiting until playground markings have faded or need replacing.
Installations include number grids, active play circuits, custom court markings, seating zones and structured learning layouts designed to support literacy, numeracy, physical activity and more purposeful use of outdoor space.
EduMarking operates across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, with installations completed in over 10,000 schools globally.
