The Pool

First a fire engine came and pumped out the water.  Now the cleaning.  Mr Kirikino had some 'helpers' after school today.  Good job guys, the pool is looking good and is only going to look better when we have one more  thing - WATER!!  Watch this space..

Surf Life Saving

We had some special visitors today talk to the school about Surf Life Saving.  This is a great sport to get into. You learn some essential skills with swimming in the ocean.  Have a look at the National Surf Life Saving Webpage.
