Beyond the Gates

Bundha Community Open Day

Bundha Sports Centre has recently opened in Fitzroy North, offering four competition-standard courts for basketball, netball and volleyball, a multipurpose futsal court, a large gym, group fitness classes and reformer Pilates — plus a welcoming café and community spaces.

To celebrate the official opening of this exciting new venue, we’re hosting a Community Open Day on Sunday 22 February, and we’d love your school community to join us. The day will be full of free family-friendly activities, including come‑and‑try reformer Pilates, sports and games on court, entertainment, face painting, smoothie bikes and a classic sausage sizzle.

We would be grateful for the opportunity to share this event with your school community — whether that’s through your newsletter, parent portal or printed/digital flyers. We have a range of ready-made assets available and can provide anything else you may need.

Could you please let us know if this is possible?And are you the best person to liaise with regarding this opportunity? If not, we’d appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
