Guildford Grammar School - Campus

Campus

Guildford Grammar School is located on a 100-acre (40 ha) campus on the banks of the Swan River, and stands among trees and lawns. The campus has a number of buildings and sporting facilities necessary for the day to day educational needs of the students. Some of these buildings are of historical significance - including the Chapel, which is listed with the Heritage Council of Western Australia. Most of the buildings and sporting fields are named after significant people in the school's foundation and history.

2005 saw the school embark on a major redevelopment project, named the 'One Campus Project,' the first major project to be undertaken at the school in 15 years. This project includes the redevelopment of the School's playing fields and property bordering the Great Eastern Highway. The project is expected to cost in excess of $5.5 million and includes the construction of a new hockey pitch, a second football oval, 12 new acrylic surface tennis courts, a new sports pavilion and the reconstruction of Roberts Oval. Much of the construction work will be completed by the end of May 2006 and the Roberts Oval sports pavilion is scheduled for completion by mid 2007.
