Beach Day at Whites Bay

What a great day we had for our annual Beach Day!  The sun shone, the children were busy swimming, exploring rock pools, sailing home-made boats, cricket, climbing rocks and running down sand hills.  I was impressed with the organisation, thanks to the staff, and the behaviour of all the children.  Of course, to make this day possible we require the support of our families and that we had.  Thank you everyone for a great day.

Here are some photos that Meredith kindly sent and a couple from the rock pool area where I was based.

That’s a good one!
