25.01.2022 " NEWS FLASH!! There are new rules regarding use of our fabulous pool at Manly West State School. From now on the pool can only be used for swim club if there is a volunteer lifeguard present. We need some parents or students (16 yrs or older) who have their lifeguard certificate or are willing to do gain the lifeguard qualification to put their hand up to help us meet this new requirement. Please contact us if you are interested. Or if you know someone with the qualification... who would like to gain some volunteer work experience at the Manta Rays then please let us know. Thank you!
