School Facilities Enable Consistent Training

Camberwell High School maintains a sports hall, large oval and multiple basketball courts used constantly for training as part of the Boroondara Division Interschool Sports Program. These courts allow Year 7 to 12 students to develop skills through organized programs and carnivals. Camberwell Grammar School requires grades 7 to 12 participation in organized sports and fields teams drawn from its extensive on-site facilities. The Camberwell Dragons Development Squad draws junior players from these local pathways for representative competition.

Established Venues Anchor Community Sport

Camberwell Sportsground, also known as McQueen Financial Group Park, hosts winter sports from April to September and provides grounds for clubs including the Old Scotch Football Club and Camberwell Magpies Cricket Club. These venues complement the indoor courts at nearby schools, creating a network that supports year-round basketball and other codes. The infrastructure allows teams to prepare for road games and home fixtures without reliance on external sites.

Long-Term Upgrades Sustain Participation

Camberwell Grammar School completed its New Sports Centre in November 2016 at a cost of 45 million dollars. The facility includes a 51.5 metre aquatic pool, basketball hall and gymnasium and remains available for ongoing use by school and community programs. This sustained investment aligns with the continued activity of local representative teams such as the Dragons across divisions.
