About us

At Schoolyard Heroes, we believe schoolyards deserve the same attention as classrooms.

Too often, outdoor spaces fade, crack, peel, or simply get forgotten. Lines disappear, surfaces wear out, and schools end up repairing the same things year after year.

We started Schoolyard Heroes to change that.

From long-lasting playground markings and anti-slip surfaces to outdoor furniture, heavy-duty umbrellas, and graffiti-proof wall murals, we help schools take their campuses to the next level.

Schoolyard Heroes is led by James Galpin and Denis Hilgert, headquartered in Sydney with teams across Australia and New Zealand. We recently acquired Scully Outdoor Designs, NSW's leaders in school outdoor furniture for 30 years, and now we're taking them nationwide. Now schools can upgrade their facilities through one trusted partner instead of ten different suppliers. Because running a school is already complicated enough.

Our vision is simple: make it easy for schools across Australia and New Zealand to create outdoor spaces that look great, are safer, last longer, and don't break the budget.

We look forward to working with you and your team.
