This term, Year One students took part in swimming lessons at Prairiewood Leisure Centre.
There were firsts for many – the College bus was a huge hit with Mr Nick our bus driver! The students loved wearing their swimming costumes and College cap. They learned basic swimming strokes and water safety as part of the PDHPE curriculum. Students thoroughly enjoyed themselves each week and developed some very important new skills.
Some of our students wanted to share their thoughts on what they have learned or their favourite thing about swimming:
“Going on the bus and swimming with my instructor” Ivy
“Learning how to swim backstroke and going on the bus” Tomas
“We learnt about pool safety” Addison
“When we played Red Light Green Light” Rylan
“I learnt how to help someone who is drowning by throwing a kickboard to them” Ethan T
“I learnt how to swim and how to float in the water” Braxton
“They taught us about water safety” Lucas
“It made me be brave and I learnt lots!” Emilie
“Learning how to paddle backwards with a board on my chest” Jackson
“…going on the bus!” Stephen
Well done Year One for your engagement, resilience and persistence when learning to swim.
