The St Peter’s College gym is located in the Buchnall Sport Centre and is home of the Athletic Development Department. This space supports our Senior School HPE classes from Years 7 to Year 12 and is the destination for our boys athletic development needs. This happens in two ways, either as a part of their sporting programs scheduled sessions or during ‘Open Gym’ sessions before or after school and during lunch. Each boy has access to a year and ability level and all sessions are supervised by our University experienced team.
Recently, our gym underwent a refurbishment, including the installation of a seven station, dual-cell rig spanning approximately 19 metres! This has increased the available training stations by approximately 50% and further improved our ability to offer quality coaches to large groups.
Pleasingly, the uptake with the new set-up has been high, with many of our new and regular gym users enjoying the change. We encourage any student who hasn’t visited the gym recently to come and test out the new training space.
