Memberships now open
Doors to the Recreation Centre are now open.
St Andrew’s have committed to opening the facility to the broader community for a minimum two year period, and we welcome locals back to their community hub.
Under the new ownership, the Rec Centre runs on a fee-paying basis for the pool and gymnasium with the popular Pool Café also open.
We look forward to seeing you there.

The facility will be used by the College to as an additional ability to continue to deliver the high-quality programs we offer to more students and the extended community, specifically our sporting and Aquatic programs.
The costs of the memberships reflect the opening costs of keeping a facility like this open. As everyone is feeling at the moment, the costs of everything is rising, we are not immune to this. As a school running an Aquatic Centre (as opposed to a body corporate), there are also extra requirements placed on us during opening hours, including additional staffing and lifeguards.
Again, this comes down to operational feasibility and staffing costs. We set the opening hours based on the times with the highest usage. Memberships also include access to the College Aquatic Centre, which adds a further window of usage during the day, but changes from week to week.
