The tennis court is divided into two courts, with Court 1 being the one closest to the prep classrooms (southern court) and Court 2 being the northern court. Both courts can be hired in half-hour increments with a minimum hire period of one hour per booking. The pricing for court bookings is set by the Parents and Citizens Association (P&C), and payment for all bookings must be made in advance.
The purpose of the tennis courts is for recreational tennis only. Professional coaching on the tennis courts is not permitted unless approved by the P&C. Any use of the courts for activities other than recreational tennis requires prior written agreement from the P&C.
Access to the tennis courts is restricted to the specified court, date, and time of the booking. Upon confirmation of the booking, a code will be provided to access the court. The code should be entered in the lockbox located in the tennis court shelter, which contains two keys – one for the padlock on the court gate and another for the lights. Users should remember to lock the gate when leaving the courts if they are the only ones using them.
The keys must be returned to the lockbox after use.
The tennis courts are equipped with lights, which can be activated by the user using the switch in the electrical box on the wall of the Prep building. The key to the electrical box can be found in the lockbox. Users must ensure that all lights are switched off by 10pm.
