The upgraded courts will be accessed by;
Old Orchard Primary School Students. 480 students with a dedicated Physical Education teacher and program.
Local community is encouraged to use our school grounds on weekends and holidays as all outdoor spaces remain accessible to the public. Our recently refurbished oval frequently provides play, practise and training spaces for our neighbours and local community.
Several local clubs currently make regular use of this multi purpose court space. These include Old Orchard Netball Club, Koonung Park Tennis Club and Vikings Basketball Club. (All clubs looking to expand registered player numbers)

Our multi purpose court is in very poor condition. The surface is slippery and when wet, very dangerous. There are also significant cracks that have created an uneven surface which is hazardous. Resurfacing would encourage increased participation in physical activity, provide the community with dedicated training spaces and increase safety for those using the courts. Along with the resurfacing of the court, including new line marking and the installation of a rebound wall, the community would have a safe area to practise their sports. The addition of a rebound wall enables students and the community to refine their skills.

For less sports injury for young children, this project shouldn't be postponed but be granted with full funding ASAP!

A great asset for the school and for the community. Lots of families use this space on the weekend and to upgrade it means more outdoor activity for families. Win Win.
