A new state-of-the-art 4 court gymnasium is the standout feature of a $13.7 million upgrade at Reynella East College, officially opened today.

The College, located in Adelaide’s south, offers a special focus Sports Academy program across a range of sports, including basketball and volleyball, which develops students core skills and fitness.

The gym is also fitted with high-tech cameras which add to the learning opportunities for students to further develop their skills and understanding of gameplay. This also allows streaming of state and national events globally.

With more than 1900 students enrolled across preschool to Year 12, the large gymnasium has also allowed the College to gather the entire school body together for regular assemblies and end of year graduations.

The redevelopment project, which began in July 2020, also included 4 new flexible classroom spaces, office and storage space, along with additional car parking and landscaping improvements.

“At Reynella East College we’re proud of our long sporting history, and the new gym is a valuable addition to our school, especially for our Sports Academy students and our highly successful EASTS Volleyball program,” said Reynella East College Principal Warren Symonds.

“The gym will also allow our students and staff to come together as a whole college, providing our younger students the opportunity to interact, learn and be inspired by our senior school students.”
