Swimming Pool |
The school is most fortunate in having a 25 metre pool. The pool was officially opened in 1967 as part of the then Acacia Ridge State School. This facility is an integral part of the school calendar, used during the Spring and Summer seasons as part of the physical education curriculum, and co-curricular activities.
From as early as prep classes, students engage in lessons that focus on swimming technique, swimming for health, well-being and fitness and for enjoyment through relaxation and socialisation. Prep to year 3 classes learn to swim with support whilst maneuvering across the width of the pool. These formative stages encourage confidence in swimming the length of the pool as they graduate to higher levels of ability.
The pool facilities include a tiered grandstand, shower block and toilet amenities. Shaded seating areas also provide an alternative for parents who attend swimming carnivals.
Events held in the pool typically include the annual swimming carnival where the house teams Wakka Wakka , Bundjalung and Jagera go head to head in winning the coveted title of swimming champions of the year.
