YEAR 6 WATER SAFETY WEEK

Week 3 of this term, the Year 6 students participated in an extremely valuable and educational Water Safety program at Mills Beach.

 

The students rotated through different activities:

  • Using a personal floatation device
  • Snorkelling
  • Rescues
  • Beach Games
  • Team Building activities
  • Water Skills which included signals and moving through water effectively
  • An introduction to CPR 
  • And Boards. 

The program provided students with challenges and experiences which enabled them to develop their:

  • team building skills - co-operation, initiative, communication
  • and life skills - safety around water, CPR and recreational activities in an aquatic environment

 

Carnival Day was held on the Friday. Competing for their House, students participated in 5 different activities – Wading, Nipper Boards, PFD, Sprints, Relays and Flags.

 

A Flag final was run for the Top male and female competitors from each group. Chelsea L won the girls final, whilst Lennon K won the boys.

 

Just before lunch all students participated in an Iron Nipper which involved a run, board leg, swim with a PFD and then a run to finish.
