A $63 million sporting pavilion is under construction at Salesian College Sunbury.
The pavilion will be a multi-use facility open to be used by local community sport clubs outside of school hours, replacing the previous clubrooms and change areas.
The school received a $2.5 million grant from the state government for the project.
Salesian College Sunbury said the pavilion will “pave the way for the future expansion into other sports.”
The pavilion construction forms part of a long-term plan by the college to create a sporting precinct with multiple areas, catering for football, cricket, soccer, netball, basketball, hockey, and tennis.
Sunbury MP Josh Bull visited the school on Monday, August 5, to view the project’s progress.
“This project will transform the historic Rupertswood sporting precinct, and add immeasurable benefit to the Salesian college and wider community for many years to come,” Mr Bull said.
Salesian College Sunbury principal Mark Brockhus said the school was excited to see the state-of-the-art facility taking shape and proud to be developing a sports precinct that will benefit both our students and the wider Sunbury community.
The official opening date for the new pavilion has not yet been announced.
