Sport at Plenty 

Coonawarra Willam - The New Sport Centre

Ashley Daly, Year 12, Plenty Campus Sports Captain

The Coonawarra Willam Aquatic Centre is a significant new addition to the school’s foundation, with new facilities such as the gym, pool and numerous sports fields for students and the public to utilise for their benefit. The centre is a great resource for students to have access for their learning, leisure and fitness purposes, whether it’s training in the pool or gym for upcoming games and competitions or studying for an upcoming assessment in the classrooms upstairs. Personally, I am looking forward to using the gym and pool to keep my fitness up, rather than going elsewhere. These facilities are easily accessible for me to use. I am also excited to use the outdoor fields to play tennis and netball with my friends at recess and lunch and hopefully be able to play Saturday sports at home on these new sports grounds.

The Coonawarra Willam Aquatic Centre is an exciting and spectacular new addition to the Plenty Campus. The facilities it offers provides our students with a new place to excel in their sporting commitments, including a 25m swimming pool accompanied by a children’s pool, a state of the art gym filled with a variety of weights and machines, and a FIFA approved soccer pitch as well as a synthetic hockey field with an abundance of tennis courts. The new centre also includes several spacious classrooms in which health and physical education classes take place. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to utilise the gym and compete in soccer games on the new pitch throughout this season. As sports captain it excites me to see a greater level of involvement through these new facilities as students enjoy the many perks of the Coonawarra Willam Aquatic Centre.
