Podz Arc Table
Small group teaching works best when the teacher can see and reach every student without shifting position constantly, and the Podz Arc Table is shaped specifically for that. The horseshoe form positions the teacher at the centre of the table, facing every student in the group at once, rather than working around a straight edge or a shape designed primarily for student to student collaboration.
That central position allows closer interaction and more personalised teaching, useful for guided reading groups, intervention sessions or any small group activity across South Australian classrooms where direct teacher engagement matters more than open ended group work. It still fosters collaboration and hands on learning among the students seated around the arc, just with the teacher genuinely part of the group rather than standing outside it.
Available with adjustable glides for a stable fixed position or castors for classrooms that move furniture regularly, the table suits both dedicated small group teaching spaces and general classrooms using the Arc for specific sessions. At 1800mm wide, 900mm deep and 720mm high, with custom sizes available, it fits comfortably into most classroom layouts without dominating the room.
Tabletops are available in E0 laminate or a wide range of Laminex and Polytec finishes, with black, silver or white powdercoat base options and custom finishes available. A 10 year warranty backs the construction.

Common Questions:
What kind of teaching is the horseshoe shape best suited for?
It suits small group and guided teaching, such as reading groups or targeted intervention sessions, where the teacher benefits from being positioned at the centre and facing every student directly.
How many students typically sit around the Arc table?
It is sized for a small group setting rather than a full class, with the horseshoe shape designed to keep every student within close reach of the teacher at the centre.
Can the table be moved easily between classrooms or storage?
Yes, it is available with castors for easy movement and reconfiguration, or adjustable glides where a stable, fixed position is preferred.
