🔥We’re proud to share that our team has successfully secured a grant for Macintyre High School to redevelop their basketball courts into a new multisport facility.🏀

The project has been awarded $300,000 in funding, contributing to a total project value of over $400,000!

This redevelopment will give students and the wider community access to a modern, flexible sporting space designed to support a range of activities well beyond basketball. We love working on projects that make a tangible difference in local communities, and we’re looking forward to seeing this facility come to life.

✨Congratulations ✨ to the school and their awesome P&C Association for helping to make this happen! 🐞
