• experienced PFD (Personal Floatation Device) activities – how to put on a PFD, entering the water with a PFD and swimming with a PFD
• learnt to hold a paddle correctly, enter and leave an inflatable boat, to paddle forwards and backwards, etc.
• experienced learning to swim whilst wearing clothes.

OPEN NIGHT – WEDNESDAY 25TH MAY

It was great to see so many students and parents attend the school’s Open night. A number of our students participated in the Obstacle course that was set up in the school gym. As always, we love to see students living by the school’s THRIVE values – enjoying themselves, being healthy, trying their best and getting involved. Unfortunately, there were so many students who participated in the Obstacle Course, we were too busy to take photos. However, we managed to take photos of the Cross Country students completing the course during their training session the following morning.
