The PILOT tiered seating from Select Staging Concepts was installed at St Catherine’s School in Toorak during the 2021-22 refurbishment of the old school gymnasium.

The refurbishment, which saw the old gymnasium being transformed into a state-of-the-art Black Box Theatre, demanded a reliable portable tiered seating system that could be reconfigured into any seating arrangement to suit a variety of school events.

Select Staging Concepts’ PILOT modular stage system proved to be the answer. The PILOT tiered seating installation, completed in May this year, featured 10 tiers of 9.6m width for school seating to be placed ready for events. Additionally, we supplied podiums and legs for a sound desk placed at the top of the tiered system.

These tiered podiums may be reconfigured by the school to suit each event – even into smaller banks of seating placed around the performance area, delivering an excellent multifunctional seating solution.

The savvy decision makers at St Catherine’s are no strangers to the benefits of our Australian Made stage solutions, having bought our portable QUATTRO modular staging systems in 2014 and 2015 for school events around the campus.

The clever design of PILOT and QUATTRO modular podiums will allow the school to join them together as required for larger event needs, while QUATTRO stage accessories will perform on both systems.

Both QUATTRO and PILOT modular stages are the go-to stage solution for schools across Australia: Purchase a flat event stage, then add a few safety stage accessories to turn the flat stage into a long term financial asset, as it may be reconfigured into a tiered seating system, choir riser, catwalk, drum riser, or multi height performance stage.
