Located in the close-knit community of Norwood, Ontario, just east of Peterborough, Norwood District High School is a cornerstone of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB), serving students with a strong emphasis on both academics and extracurricular activities. The school’s athletics program, serving as home to the Norwood Knights, includes competitive teams in volleyball, basketball, badminton, and soccer, fostering school spirit and teamwork. The school’s gymnasium is a hub for these activities, hosting practices, games, and community gatherings, making efficient use of space a top priority.

In 2024, the school came to us looking for solutions to enhance their gymnasium by adding a gym divider curtain to replace an outdated and cumbersome folding partition. Having been a trusted partner of the KPRDSB for several capital budget projects, the school turned to us to help deliver a solution that would meet their needs while adhering to their budget. After exploring various models, Norwood DHS selected the Centre Drive Gym Divider Curtain, a versatile and user-friendly option that allows the gym to be divided quickly and efficiently.

Installed in late 2024 by our expert installation team, the new curtain features a striking design that incorporates Norwood DHS’s school colors: a yellow mesh upper half for visibility and airflow, paired with a durable blue vinyl lower half for privacy and aesthetics. Operated by a convenient key switch, the curtain effortlessly rolls up to the ceiling, providing ample clearance for sports like volleyball and badminton when the gym is used as a single space. When lowered, it divides the gymnasium into two functional areas, enabling simultaneous activities such as practices, physical education classes, or community events.

“The Centre Drive Gym Divider Curtain is a game-changer for Norwood DHS,” said a representative from Sport Systems. “It’s designed for ease of use, durability, and flexibility, allowing the school to make the most of their gymnasium space while staying within budget.”

The new curtain has already made a significant impact, streamlining gym operations and enhancing the athletic offerings available for students, coaches, and spectators. By dividing the space, the school can host multiple activities at once, maximizing the use of the facility for its busy athletics program and community events. The sleek design and school-colored customization also add a touch of pride to the gymnasium, reflecting the spirit of the Norwood Knights.
