A sports centre has been officially opened at Cavendish Road State High School.
The $7.1 million dollar Alan Sampson Sports Centre, named after a former principal, includes two multi-purpose sports courts, laboratories, offices, storage rooms, and a kiosk, as well as many other facilities.
Member for Greenslopes Joe Kelly, hopes these facilities will help maintain the school’s reputation as one of the most competitive sports schools in Brisbane.
“We have a long and strong sporting tradition at our school with famous ex-students including Olympic silver medal winning triathlete Loretta Harrop as well as international soccer players Dario Vidošić and Tahj Minniecon plus American football star Jesse Williams.
“Students come from across the state to be part of our sporting academies in football, netball and touch football," she says.
