A Renewed Fitness Centre for Healthy, Active Students

Nine months of planning and work completed in time for the start of Term 2 – our Fitness Centre has been thoroughly refreshed. Brand new flooring runs throughout the space and a new suite of equipment is now in place creating a welcoming environment where students can build strength, fitness and healthy habits.

The Fitness Centre is open to students across the School with all sessions supervised by staff. It is a space that supports physical education and co-curricular activity and one that reflects our commitment to the health and wellbeing of every student at IGS.

With enormous thanks to Principal Shauna Colnan and Director of Business Clare Bailey whose oversight made this project possible, to our Facilities Team led by Pramod Mainali for their tireless work behind the scenes and to Head of High School PDHPE Walid Baghdadi for his guidance in shaping the space, renewing the gym equipment and specialist flooring for our students.

These works are made possible by the quiet generosity of IGS families who include the voluntary Building Fund contribution with their school fees. The Fitness Centre refresh was among a broader program of works completed over the January break – and it would not have been possible without you. We extend our warm thanks to each of you.
