New facilities at Kangan Institute for students
10 March 2010
Kangan Institute now has several sporting facilities available at Broadmeadows. These areas will enable students to burn off some energy or to relax.
The new sporting facilities at Broadmeadows include two basketball shooting areas (near Building J & C), a soccer goal (near Building H) and a synthetic turf volleyball court (near Building I). A bike storage shed near Building A will also assist those who ride a bike to school.
These projects have been made possible by The Centre for Youth who received funding to create the facilities.
Various projects around the other campuses are still in the works, so students will be updated once they are completed.
Students can access sport equipment for these areas by visiting the Student Recreation office at Broadmeadows, Building K.
There are also new facilities for all students to enjoy at Moreland. The prayer room, originally located in the student cafeteria, has now been moved to Level 1, Building A (across from the bathroom facilities).
The old location of the prayer room in the student cafeteria has now been refurbished as a female shower and locker room. If you would like to use the facilities but find that the door is locked, please enquire at the reception.
