Splashing out at MSAC

On a cool Sunday morning, 24 grade 3 and 4 students, regular members of our Homework Club, gathered at the Errington Centre with 12 staff and buddies for some introductory activities before jumping into mini-buses for the journey to the Melbourne Sports & Aquatics Centre (MSAC). Once inside the warm and bustling swimming pool area, young and old put on bathers and blue shirts. Students and their older buddies set off to experience relaxing in the warm water, washing down the water slide, bobbing in the wave pool, massages from the water jets, trying a few strokes in the small lap pools and experimenting with noodles, flippers and balls. All survived (with a few coughs and splutters) and welcomed lunch and drinks. It was a playful and most enjoyable way to celebrate the end of term with new friends.

A huge thank you goes out to Brendan Douglas and the staff at St Bernard's College for generously providing the funds and buses used on the day.
