It was game time! The Outdoor Ed students had the opportunity on Wednesday 6th October to adapt and use their paddling skills and put them into a new up-and-coming fun activity. Paddleball is like water polo, where students work as a team and pass the ball to then shoot into a goal. All this while using the kayak to move around the water court. The students were great; they were supportive of each other and helped with the equipment without any hassle which is great to see. Once they got on the water, this time in their own kayak, the students were chasing the ball and trying to help their team score. We had so much fun!!!

This is a program that is new and Paddle Victoria is putting on some more programs, in particular on the weekend between now and December. Their mission is to encourage youngsters who might not be physically active to try something new. The students were extremely active during our session! Well done to all! If you would like more details on this activity please feel free to contact me.
