Grassports court upgrade at St Joseph’s College Geelong
Incorporating the school colours and crest were key design considerations in this school sport surface transformation.
Throughout the school holiday period of December 2023 to January 2024, the team from Grassports undertook a refurbishment of the Year 7 basketball court area. Grassports – an APT Asia Pacific agent – worked hard to ensure that the renovated court was ready for the start of the 2024 school year.

Inspired by the school’s colours of red, gold, and black, and driven by a spirit of student voice and advocacy, Grassports was proud to deliver a vibrant multisport area adorned in the stunning Aboriginal flag colours. The collaboration with St Joseph’s College was a natural alignment as Grassports shared their commitment to “deliver an inclusive, safe, and diverse culture.”
Grassports supplied and installed 855m2 of Australian-made SYNLawn Coolplay synthetic turf, manufactured in Melbourne by APT Asia Pacific. The versatility of this surface enabled Grassports to perfectly capture the essence of the school’s identity. The full-size basketball court, mirroring the Aboriginal flag, stands as a symbol of unity and diversity. The custom-made school crest added a bespoke quality and is a source of pride for the student body within the space.
Andrew Dowd, Business Manager at St Joseph’s College praised the Grassports team for their professionalism, service and attention to detail. “Whilst onsite the team were always extremely professional and efficient in their work and went over and above in the skilled manner in which they cut our College logo into the surface to ensure that the aesthetics of the entire project were spot on.
“I would have no hesitation in recommending Grassports for any projects of this kind and we look forward to future opportunities of working with your team again.”
