The school beat competing bids from Scotch College, Melbourne Grammar and The Kings School in Sydney.
A spokesperson for Geelong Grammar said the school's gymnastics stadium and water polo arena would require minor repainting, but otherwise all venues were ready to go. "We will need to build a grandstand for our volleyball facility obviously, and we'll probably want a second golf course for players to practice on. But both of those projects have been green-lit in our 2023/24 budget anyway," he said.

Good to see public funding stopped for kicking bladders, throwing sticks (javelin) & water splashing around & running.
Now, a far more worthwhile investment would be to spend $6b+ on model trains.
For the unenlightened one would learn design & planning, 3d skills, electronics, computer networking skills, town planning, team work on large projects, & at the end of the day you will have actually accomplished something!
