Line Marking Rowville VIC

A Rowville primary school asked us to remark their playground and basketball courts. The principal confirmed a date that worked for him. We arrived at 9am on a Tuesday, started laying out the basketball court lines in preparation for marking. By 10am it was clear the date was a regular school day, not a curriculum day as the principal had believed. Recess was at 10:30am and 200 students were about to be released onto a wet-painted surface.

We stopped. Covered what we'd done. The partial layout waited until 3:30pm that day when students had gone home, and we returned the following morning to complete before school started. The court layout was fine, the wet paint wasn't trampled, but it cost us an extra half-day on a job that should have been done in a single session.

The lesson was simply to verify the school calendar independently, not rely on the principal's recollection of which days are curriculum days. We now check the Department of Education's published term dates and the school's own calendar before confirming any school marking date. School marking is always done in the first or last day of term holidays, or school-approved curriculum days, confirmed against the published calendar.

Rowville is a well-established eastern Melbourne suburb — Stud Road corridor, a mix of schools, retail on Kelletts Road, and light industrial on the eastern fringe. We've been marking across Rowville since 2009. School scheduling protocol is now standard on every Rowville school quote. VicRoads approved.
