Year 9 Pool Party!

by Dio Communications

Last Thursday, our Year 9s and some Year 10s who were not at camp or Habitat spent extended form time and last period playing games, swimming, eating iceblocks and connecting with friends. The wind and slightly cooler temperatures didn't hamper the good mood - especially for those brave souls who got in the pool! Thank you to Mr Watson and the teachers who joined in the fun.
