Harmless fun for dads, mums and kids. Your upper body is safely enclosed in a huge inflatable bubble and you try to score by bouncing, rolling, bumping and flipping over. No soccer ability required. Families who help at the working bee can play Bubble Soccer. $10 pp to enter.

Sunday 29 June

Bubble Soccer kicks off at 12.30pm on the school soccer field, following the working bee 10am to 12 noon.

Working Bee jobs:

Rake up bark around Adventure Playground.

RSVP to the school office or leave a reply on this post if you are coming. There’s a limited number of adult and child bubble suits so don’t delay.
