The project is in two stages - firstly the resurfacing of the two school mod grass activity courts, and secondly the installation of four large fixed shade sails to partially cover the courts for inclement weather. New tennis poles and nets along with ball safety nets will also be installed. The wider community will be able to use the courts on a more frequent basis for free basketball, netball and tennis on the weekends, after hours and school holidays. During the week the school will be able to run PE programs in inclement weather, which it currently cannot.

This project will enable the whole community who use the activity courts at Armadale primary school more often and in inclement weather. Currently the courts are uncovered, and do not allow the ability to play tennis or have a running track ability.
The activity courts are the only ones around the local area that are open all weekend and available for use by local residents and children.
The construction of some 600 residences in nearby Orrong road has put pressure on the community facilities and therefore this upgrade of facilities will enhance the community as a whole.

This is a tiny school. Let’s maximise the space for the community.

Armadale Primary is an integral part of the Stonnington community. It is a land locked school with limited space for both the school children and local residents to enjoy. An upgrade of the facilities it much needed.

Given the limited outdoor space, I think this project would be amazing and is much needed for this small school but also the wider community. To enable children to play all year around would be fantastic!

This would be a brilliant addition & needed update to the activity courts, which endure heavy use.
Heavy use, not just from the school but also from the wider community.

An extremely worthy project not just for the school but the whole community to enjoy. Stonnington has such limited open space, these shade sails would be such a welcome addition.

The school has a magnificent heritage building that looks like a castle, the space is also quite generous. This sort of an upgrade is not just for the school and the children from Armadale Primary, it is for the local community who will be able to also use this space. Win Win.

This upgrade would enhance the health and wellbeing of the children in the Armadale community by providing a desperately needed recreation space.

With such limited outdoor space, this much needed upgrade would allow for year-round, healthy and safe use of the space they have... which would be a huge benefit to the students and the surrounding community.

The dual use by the school and the local community makes this a much needed project particularly with regard to the increasing population density of the area.

This is a very important project. The limited open space on the school site must be available for the children to play at breaks during the hotter months, and for sport/PE to be conducted almost regardless of weather. This project also addresses the safety issue of balls going over the boundary fence onto a busy roadway

This is an essential upgrade to ensure the kids and the community can utilise the courts all year round.

APS deserves this upgrade to their facilities so the kids can play all year round. They are such a great promoter of outdoor, healthy and fun activities. Eliza & Rob Ashton

Lets put the covers up, upgrade the facilities and keep the kids active rain, hail or shine.

A wonderful initiative for a very special community school - given the small space, making it all-year-playable would be brilliant!
