Swimming Pool Upgrades

In these days of declining  education resources, the swimming pool is a major asset to the OBHS campus, setting it apart from most Otago high schools.  The pool is used for learning to swim, water safety, kayaking skills and recreation (including water polo training).

Recently significant upgrades have occurred including a complete roof replacement, other structural upgrading, ventilation improvements to allow year-round use, and upgrades to the changing rooms.  The School acknowledges the generous support of the Otago Community Trust, the Lion Foundation, and the Alexander McMillan Trust in completing this work.  However, there is still work to be completed on the  inside of the pool and the surrounds to provide an adequate non-slip surface. The Foundation continues to raise funds to complete these works and to contribute to the pool's ongoing maintenance costs.
