3/4 Swimming lessons at KLIM Swim, Richmond
This week the grade 3/4 students have participated in a two week swimming program at Richmond Klim Swim. The 25 metre indoor pool is closed to the general public but is sometimes used by the Richmond Football Club. Last Monday, students shared the pool with a number of Richmond players, it’s been exciting for them having the experience to swim alongside elite athletes whilst having their lesson.

TPS students at the Australian Open
Haydon and Lincoln Fa had a wonderful opportunity at the Australian Open in Melbourne. Lincoln tossed the coin at the beginning of the game for Milo Raonic (Canada) and Nick Kyrgios (Australia). He was also able to meet Dylan Alcott and Health Davidson. Haydon, was one of 50 children invited to attend a Rafael Nadal Academy clinic. What a great opportunity for them both! They are very keen and enthusiastic tennis players.
