Pool party to ease kids back to school

A Back to School Pool Party is on Friday afternoon at the Orange Aquatic Centre and is open to anyone school-aged, and their carers, and will include a DJ, a diving competition, a beach volleyball competition and a giant inflatable water gym.

Orange City Council’s Services Committee Chair Ron Gander said the event was a great initiative of the YAC.

“The YAC is working hard to make sure Orange is a better place for young people by organising a range of free events involving a broad range of activities,” Cr Gander said.

“The Orange Aquatic Centre is a fantastic facility and the pool party is a great opportunity for kids to get out and enjoy what services Orange has to offer, as well as make new friends and find out more about the YAC.”

The pool party is on from 5pm to 7.30pm on Friday February 17 and there is free entry to the first 150 people through the gates.

Normal admission prices ($4.40) will occur after the first 150 people enter.

Normal entry rules apply, for example children under 12 must be supervised by a guardian over 16.

This event is drug and alcohol free.
