RENOVATING THE MAIN OVALS

RENOVATION OF OUR MAIN OVALS

The Main Ovals are currently under renovation. The two ovals will soon be connected as one large oval, flattened and drained so that we can have full use of the oval for the duration of the year. Many of you will remember some extremely muddy football games, with a very soggy forward pocket!

The renovation of the ovals is being funded by the Beckworth Trust, and its extraordinary generosity is greatly appreciated. The John Vernon Field, the all-weather multi-sport surface to the north of the Rintel Centre, was funded by the Trust some years ago. The Trust also assisted Grammar families who needed financial support during the pandemic, and we are extremely grateful for its support of the School.

We are also looking to install lighting as part of the project (pending Council approval) which will extend the available use of the oval for training and playing beyond daylight hours. The lighting and improved surface will create further opportunities for our students and community partners.
