Clevedon needs you! The Clevedon School Pool Commi Clevedon needs you! The Clevedon School Pool Committee urgently needs the support of our community to keep the Clevedon School Pool operational. 

The Clevedon School Community Pool has been a vital community asset for generations as a place to build water confidence and learn to swim and also as a community hub over the summer months, but it is under threat. 

As you may have read in the Roundup, the costs of running and maintaining a school pool are not paid by the Ministry of Education, leaving our school community to fundraise to cover the rising costs of operating a pool. Clevedon School needs to raise $240,000 to cover costs over the next ten years - an enormous task for a small community. 

Help us make sure our school pool doesn’t become another water safety statistic. If you’re in a position to help, please swipe through to find out how.

Last day to buy a school pool key is Thursday 11 December 💦

Parents and kids — stick to footpaths, look both ways when crossing, and make sure those costumes are easy to see.

Drivers — slow down and stay alert for sugar-fuelled kiddos running about!
