ISUAL COMMUNICATION TOOLS are an indispensable part of the education environment. From traditional whiteboards and noticeboards to new technologies such as interactive whiteboards, projectors and visual presenters, these tools help teachers communicate effectively with both students and colleagues. One New Zealand company has been providing audio visual and presentation solutions to schools and businesses for more than 25 years. Whether fitting out a new classroom or upgrading your existing equipment, Boyd Visuals can supply a wide range of products to suit any requirement. The company’s extensive range of quality presentation equipment includes noticeboards, whiteboards, easels, copyboards, interactive whiteboards, projectors, projection screens, visual presenters and sound-absorbing wall coverings. These products are from well known brands such as Autex, Elmo, eBeam, Hitachi, Plus and Sanyo. Boyd Visuals also have their own exclusive range of whiteboards, noticeboards and projection screens.

The company’s recent projects in the education sector include Mission Heights Schools, Baradene College, Mountain View School, Whangaparaoa College, Finlayson Park School, Peninsula Primary and Diocesan School for Girls.
