Cockburn ARC

  We had a ball with the kids at Blue Gum Montessori, Harmony Primary School, Treeby Primary School, Phoenix Primary School, and Jilbup Primary School as we kicked off our School Sports Program. This term, we hosted a series of Olympic Fun Days. With an Olympic twist, the days were packed with track and field events, sports games, and fun activities. 🏅 Children were grouped into different countries, competing to accumulate points throughout the day. At the end of the day, we had a closing ceremony, where one country was crowned champion with multiple awards handed out! 🥇 We’re incredibly proud of the positive feedback from all participating schools. Principal Margaret Pretty, from Phoenix Primary School shared, “What a wonderful day for the children. I saw smiles on faces all day. It was a fabulous day where everyone worked together.” Physical Education Specialist, Cameron McKay, from Treeby Primary School explains, “The students, and staff, have not stopped talking about it! The ARC staff were amazing. At no point during the day did the students feel there was a lack of energy.’ This initiative is at the heart of our mission to help children be active in physical activity and sports. It fostered community engagement among parents, staff, and children, provided an inclusive day for all abilities, and strengthened relationships with our local City of Cockburn schools. A huge thank you to our amazing ARC staff and the dedicated school staff who put on their runners and hats to make these days unforgettable for our Cockburn kids. 👟🎉 You can read more about the program here: https://rb.gy/4qrwnr If you'd like to get in touch with us about the program, please contact our Senior Sport and Programs Team Leader, Mark Bailey on 9411 3363, or mbailey@cockburn.wa.gov.au. #CityofCockburn #CockburnARC #SportSchoolProgram

Diving into 2024 with a Splash! 💦 Teaming up with the Fremantle Dockers Football Club, our annual School Holiday Footy Splash event made waves last week. Through teamwork, the community enjoyed complimentary access to our stadium and aquatic areas, along with engaging in various football activities on Legacy Oval, including the chance to meet their favourite Fremantle players. Attendees brought their footy boots and bathers to make the most of the offerings. This event created a one-of-a-kind experience for the City of Cockburn community and its surroundings, drawing in approximately 2500 people. A big thankyou to all staff, both in the spotlight and behind the scenes, who contributed to the seamless execution of the event. We extend our thanks to our centre partner, the Fremantle Dockers Football Club, and our suppliers for their support in crafting a magical experience for the community. Countdown is on to next years' event, we can't wait! #CockburnARC #CityofCockburn #TheBestPlaceToBe #Community #FootySplash2024
