AWE Water Safety Programme at the Aquatic Center

On Tuesday the 7th to the 11th of June Room 8 traveled in a bus to the Aquatic Center for the AWE water safety programme. On the first day the class was divided in half. The first group did the safety pin jump from the high ledge wearing a lifejacket. We were taught to first search for anything that could hurt us in the water before we jumped eg. rocks, if it was shallow or not, logs, animals or people.

The second group worked with a partner. One had to be the patient who was pretending to drown and the other person who was the rescuer had to save his or her partner with a floating object.

At the end of the session we all had a bombing contest and the winners were Daniel, Wil, Thiesan and Ruby.
We would like to thank NPDC and AWE for providing this fantastic experience for us. The green rash tops are neat too!
