Warmun kids celebrate term two with inflatable party
With Term Two underway the kids in Warmun celebrated their return to school with a special Back to School Inflatable Pool Party at the remote Aboriginal pool in their community!
Pool Manager Stephen Waterman wanted to help the kids gets excited about being back at school, so he made a night of it, with the kids not only enjoying the pool inflatables during the afternoon but it was all followed dinner and a disco at the recreation shed!
Steve says it was all made possible thanks to a community effort. “A big thanks to Shonece and Paul from the Gija Youth team who helped supervise. We had a great turnout, with over 30 kids attending."
"It was an awesome day loaded with lots of fun. The kids loved the inflatables, and it was great to see the bigger kids assisting the little ones so they could have a go as well!"
The Warmun Remote Pool has had an amazing season, with more than 5,500 visitations to the pool by local community members for the season so far. Considering that the town’s population is only around 200 people, it’s clear that the pool is an extremely popular place for the locals to spend time!
Our remote Aboriginal Swimming Pools are managed by Royal Life Saving WA and primarily funded by the Department of Communities, with additional programs contributions made by BHP and Healthway. They make a real difference in terms of swimming and water safety education, health and social cohesion in these communities. You can read more at the link below.
