The College is pleased to announce that we have been successful in obtaining a grant for $390K from the Department of Recreation, Sport and Racing to assist in the construction of unisex change rooms including amenities, storage, umpire’s and first aid room. The guidelines require the College to contribute an equal amount towards this project.

These facilities form part of the new and exciting $6.7m Sports and Learning Centre that will commence very shortly.

The College grounds and change rooms are used by a number of community sporting organisations including St Paul’s Old Scholars Football Club, St Paul’s Old Scholars Soccer Club and Hope Valley Cricket Club. It is through the use of our facilities by these community groups that the State Government is wanting to increase the participation in sport and recreation. In particular, the fact that we are moving to co-education in 2022 and the importance of catering for more females in sport no doubt had a positive impact on the merits of our application.

We acknowledge the State Government for their continued support of grassroots sport and thank them sincerely for this grant.
