The state-of-the-art new sports hall at Ocean Reef Senior High School has been officially opened.
The $8.2 million indoor facility will provide for basketball, volleyball and netball and incorporates change rooms and a new office for Health and Physical Education staff.
The sports hall has a better connection to the school's oval for athletics, AFL and soccer programs as well as connection to outside courts for tennis, basketball and netball programs.
Community groups will also be able to use the hall outside of school hours.
Cox Architecture designed the sports hall and construction was completed by Universal Constructions Pty Ltd.
The project is part of the WA Labor Government's record $4.4 billion investment in new and improved school infrastructure across the State.
As stated by Education Minister Dr Tony Buti:
"We want all WA families to have access to great education close to home, which means providing the best learning opportunities in modern facilities for students and staff to thrive in.
"Ocean Reef Senior High School has popular and successful sports programs and I'm pleased this impressive space will be enjoyed by all for many years to come."
As stated by Joondalup MLA Emily Hamilton:
"The new sports hall looks incredible, and I am thrilled to have been able to support the delivery of this for our community. It is also terrific that community groups have the potential to access this outside of school hours.
"It's exciting to have another major project being delivered for students and staff at Ocean Reef Senior High School, in addition to the recently opened performing arts centre."
