On Thursday, 24 October the students from Turangawaewae attended a swim meet organised by the Special Olympics Organisation.

The meet was attended by eight different schools and was held at the Northern Swimming Arena at Silverdale. All our students participated in the Kickboard, Freestyle and Walking events. It was a great day and the students gained more confidence in water activities.

It was also an opportunity for them to meet students from other schools and participate competitively with like students.

In general Turangawaewae students really enjoy these Special Olympic activity days and are keen to participate.
