We’re excited to share that Oak Flats High School now has a fully equipped gym! Our former dance room has been transformed into a fantastic fitness space, complete with weight machines, rowing machines, and exercise bikes.
Over the last holidays, our General Assistant Josh Ford gave the space a total makeover—painting the green walls white, installing metal wall panelling and rubber gym flooring. His efforts created a fresh, professional feel while saving funds that could be redirected into purchasing the latest gym equipment.
The project came to life after the PDHPE faculty identified Fitness as a key interest area, providing an opportunity for students to work towards a Certificate III in Fitness. Following a high influx of subject selections, the team proposed the idea of a dedicated gym. With funding approved, staff and students collaborated to unpack equipment and plan a layout that was both practical and safe.
While Year 11 students have primary access to the gym during their Fitness classes, the space is also being used by Sport Lifestyle and Recreation and Year 10 PDHPE classes. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—and there’s growing excitement from younger year groups too!
Huge thanks to our school executive, the PDHPE faculty, senior students, and our GA for making this dream a reality.
