Shaped noticeboards are a simple way to bring colour, personality and excitement into Irish primary schools. At ABAL Educational Supplies in Clonbullogue we handcraft a wide range of fun shapes that work as practical display boards and eye catching features in corridors, classrooms and shared spaces.
Why choose shaped noticeboards?
Traditional rectangular boards are useful, but shaped boards add extra impact. They draw pupils’ attention, support themes such as transport or nature, and help celebrate what is unique about your school. Children also love seeing their work displayed on fun shapes rather than plain rectangles.
Popular shaped boards
For rural and agricultural communities the 8ft tractor noticeboard is a favourite, perfect for farm safety displays, harvest projects and Green Schools work.
The cheerful bus and train boards are ideal for corridors and travel themed work, and the optional train carriage gives even more display space.
Many schools choose our magical fairy tree, the bright rainbow or friendly animal shapes such as the caterpillar, giraffe and daisy. These work beautifully in infant corridors and junior classrooms.
Themed learning areas
For STEM and space themes, schools often pick the rocket and star boards. Music and drama rooms come alive with music notes and drama faces, while geography corridors look fantastic with our Map of Ireland boards in 4ft or 6ft sizes.
Boards with a specific purpose
Some designs are created for particular initiatives. The dedicated Green Schools noticeboard keeps environmental projects together, while the Student Council board gives student voice a clear, professional presence in the school.
Jigsaws, pencils and more
Our interlocking jigsaw boards (available in different set sizes) are perfect for resource rooms and SEN corridors, symbolising how every learner is a vital piece of the picture. Oversized pencil boards clearly mark writing and art areas, and packs of sports silhouettes are ideal for PE halls and Active Schools displays.
Built for real school life
Behind the fun shapes is serious build quality. ABAL shaped noticeboards are made using high quality pinboard core with excellent pin retention, durable fabric faces and safe, smooth edges. Wherever possible we use recycled and recyclable materials, and the boards also help absorb sound in busy corridors and halls.
Choosing shapes for different areas
Infant corridors might combine the caterpillar, daisy, rainbow and fairy tree. Junior rooms often suit the bus, train, giraffe and star. Senior corridors frequently feature the tractor, Map of Ireland, rocket and Student Council board. PE halls and yards are popular homes for sports silhouettes, while music and drama spaces benefit from music notes and drama faces.
