Enrol your children in a sport this winter that keeps you warm and fit

20/04/2022

With winter fast approaching, leading swim school Kingswim is highlighting the importance of why swimming lessons should be a top priority, even when it’s cold outside. For many children, finding availability with swim centres during summer has been tough due to long wait lists and density caps. Kingswim area manager, Anne Brown, says that after potentially missing out on summer lessons, the cooler months provide a great opportunity for parents to take advantage of quieter lesson enrollment periods. “While swimming lessons should be a priority all year round, families who are yet to re-enroll or enroll for the first time,…

Whether tuition is in regard to selective high school entrance, scholarship…

29/03/2022

History was made last Friday night when Lance “Buddy” Franklin became just the sixth man in history to kick 1000 career AFL goals. It’s a feat that many believe will never happen again with the modern game not built for powerhouse forwards.
