Springfield Anglican College has officially opened its new $18 million Ironbark Indoor Sports Centre, a state-of-the-art facility to benefit students and the wider community.
The centre, the largest project in the college’s 27-year history, was officially opened by Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland, on 6 February 2025.
The Ironbark Indoor Sports Centre provides Springfield students with access to professional-standard sporting facilities, including two international-sized sports courts. These courts will support various sporting activities and provide opportunities for students to train and compete at a high level.
Beyond sports, the centre also houses three new general learning classrooms, offering modern learning spaces for academic enrichment. A dedicated presentation stage will host school events, assemblies, and awards ceremonies, further enriching the college’s cultural and artistic life. The centre is expected to become the Springfield community’s central hub.
Completing the Ironbark Sports Centre marks a significant milestone for The Springfield Anglican College. The project, which commenced construction in August 2023, represents a substantial investment in the future of the college and its students. The $18 million project was partly funded by a $1.19 million grant from the State Capital Assistance Scheme.
The college believes the facility will play a vital role in fostering holistic education, promoting student well-being, and providing valuable opportunities for the community.
“Ironbark” was chosen to represent the strength and resilience the school aims to cultivate in its students. Both primary and secondary students will use the centre.
The Springfield Anglican College community expressed excitement about the opportunities the new centre will provide. The college believes it will play an important role in the growth and development of its students for many years to come.
