Education

Our Lady of the Southern Cross -Wyndham Vale

Glen Waverley Secondary College

GWSC have a daily intake of over 2000 students which stretches their resources for physical education. Grassports alleviated that burden by removal of an existing worn hockey surface and replaced it with Poligras H.T. hybrid product duly line marked for multiple sporting activity. Both the students and the staff are thrilled with their upgraded facility .

One of a number of new schools in the rapid growth area of Wyndham Vale. The school before it opened had another company install a synthetic multi-sport area only to find some years later that the installation was sub standard and the surface was failing. Grassports removed the existing surface, provided remedial action to the sub base and installed a new Supergrasse Court Turf, Australian made quality surface that will stand up to the daily workout.

Mt Hira College– Keysborough

Education

New Multi Sports Courts

Mount Hira awarded the construction of a new synthetic turf multipurpose facility to Grassports , after ongoing discussions with the school we developed a design that suited the needs for the entire school and community.

During construction the school decided to resurface the old worn asphalt basketball courts into new 19mm Supergrasse Court turf synthetic grass courts. Line markings for Netball, Basketball and Volley ball, another 1200m2 of surface for the school to use.

The construction of a 4,400m2 multipurpose facility is complete using our Supergrasse Court Turf PE with line markings for tennis, futsal, a 4x lane running track a 100m sprint track and a 2x lane long jump pit.

The school is extremely excited to open this wonderful facility day 1 Term 4!

Hampton Primary School

Ilim College –Dallas Education

The Ilim College of Australia group have been wonderful loyal supporters of Grassports. In the two years since we have formed an association we have completed multiple projects across a number of their Melbourne located campuses. Ilim College recognise our skill set and love our ability to design projects that maximise the use of space on their college grounds. Grassports facilities that incorporate soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball and netball are all up and running and incur excellent participation.

Following on from the construction of their 5000m2 school oval, Grassports were commissioned to build new basketball courts and practice areas.

Part of this contract included large areas of Landscape grass. Hampton Primary School has the most magnificent sporting facilities for their students.

Abruzzo Club / South Brisbane Futsal Club

With the recent completion of our first project in Queensland. Grassports were asked to upgrade an old run down hard court facility to the latest Supergrasse Eco Turf 4G futsal surface. Once an unused area, now booked out.

With no oval on campus and lack of space, Gregory Terrace needed to convert their existing gym to incorporate a removable sled Track. Poligras Olympia Coolplus was the perfect product to use for a 2 lane 24m long sled track that can be rolled up when not in use.
