ACPPA Announces Partnership with Advanced Sporting Surfaces

The Australian Catholic Primary Principals’ Association is excited to announce a major partnership with Advanced Sporting Surfaces for 2025.  Advanced Sporting Services are available for works in many locations across Australia.  

Some words from our partner:

Our Key Work and Aims in Partnering with ACPPA 

At Advanced Sporting Surfaces, we are dedicated to enhancing outdoor play areas for sports such as basketball, netball, tennis, pickleball, and wet lay rubber playgrounds. Our mission is to foster positive change and provide valuable resources that support the health and well-being of communities. We specialise in full court repairs using advanced crack repair systems, refreshing acrylic paints, installing synthetic grasses, and replacing or installing new wet lay rubber play areas—all with a focus on creating long-term, sustainable impacts. 

We are excited to partner with ACPPA, an organisation that shares our commitment to creating inclusive school environments through dynamic play and sports areas. Through this collaboration, we aim to further strengthen our efforts to enhance and support the growth and development of school communities. Together, we are confident that this partnership will drive meaningful progress and amplify our collective impact.
