Curtin About us

A healthy lifestyle

Students rowing

Healthy body, healthy mind.
Get fit, make friends and have fun.

Forget the whole frat-boy sports jock thing for a minute. We provide a fun, relaxed atmosphere where you can get out of the classroom and get fit no matter what your ability, competitiveness or choice of footwear! There's 40 hectares of sporting fields, a fully-equipped gym, tennis courts, indoor recreation centre and a ton of Guild-supported sporting clubs.

Of course, if you do have the killer instinct, you won't be disappointed either - Curtin enthusiastically competes in the rather intense Tertiary Sports Weekly Intervarsity competition and the Australian University Games each year.

New Recreation and Events Centre

Curtin is building a new state of the art Recreation and Events Centre! It's proposed that the centre will include three international grade sports courts, a new fitness centre including a spin room and a women's gym, beach volleyball facilities and a coffee shop and patio area. Construction is underway on the south side of the Bentley campus near the current Fitness Centre, with completion expected in early 2009.

On the side

In 1957, a bushfire cleared a large area of the Bentley pine plantation. This would eventually become the site for Curtin's main campus.
