At the Union Schools, our hope for the future has always been bigger than any challenges we face and in an ever-changing world, our dedication to excellence, opportunity and the holistic growth of every learner remains unwavering.
It is in this spirit of optimism and resolve that we are proud to share our vision for the Union Schools’ state-of-the-art 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 – a transformative project born from our belief in the boundless potential of every child.
Slated for completion in the coming years and located adjacent to our main AstroTurf hockey field, the new Centre will be a multi-sport facility designed to inspire, support and elevate the physical development, wellness and competitive spirit of our learners.

We are actively engaging with philanthropic partners and potential benefactors who share our vision for youth empowerment through sport. This means the Centre will be brought to life at no financial cost to the parents or families of our school – 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦.
At the heart of the Centre lies a fully adaptable indoor arena, equipped with an innovative netting system that allows for transformation into eight indoor cricket nets, an action cricket pitch, or an indoor hockey field.

A high-performance gym will serve as the strength and conditioning cornerstone of the facility, complemented by on-site medical and rehabilitation spaces to foster a holistic approach to athlete care – prioritising health, recovery and sustained excellence.
Overlooking the action will be our second-floor sports administration offices and viewing deck, providing coaches and support teams with an ideal vantage point for coordination and planning. On the ground level, purpose-built amenities – including modern change rooms, a tuck shop and kitchen, comfortable seating and essential storage – will round out the facility.
