Aquatic Centre and Rabbit Island

Our class went on a day trip to the Aquatic Centre on Wednesday 1st August. We were lucky to have several parents willing to provide transport to Richmond. The first cars headed off at about 10.oo am. Everyone was very excited and noisy on the way over (the poor parents!) Bev met us in the foyer and explained some safety rules to us before we were allowed to change into our togs.

Miss Robinson hired four surfboards for everyone to use. Most people spent time in the wave pool although the spa pools were also a popular choice. Chelsea did really well to stand up on the surfboard and balance on the waves!

After an hour and a half in the pools we were so wrinkly that we all had to exit the pool and get changed again!

We piled into the cars once again and this time we headed to Rabbit Island where we had a picnic lunch and a fossick along the beach. The weather was great despite rain earlier in the week.

Some pupils spent time making huts in the scrub, others collected pretty shells and made cool sandcastles. We also took PE equipment along and played frisbee and bat down on the sand.

It was another fantastic trip and we want to say a big thankyou to the dads (and Chloe's mum) who were able to take time off work to come with us. We really appreciate it and hopefully some of these parents might be able to come on camp to Marahau with us in November?
