Join us in the World’s Greatest Shave

We are taking part in the World’s Greatest Shave and would like you to join us!

Friday 17 March, 10am – 12pm. 

Each March, more than 20,000 extraordinary Aussies help beat blood cancer by getting sponsored to shave or colour their hair during the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. You may not know it but blood cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming more lives than breast cancer or melanoma. And every day another 35 people will be diagnosed.

Those taking part in World’s Greatest Shave make a difference by giving families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need. They also help fund vital research that will mean more people survive blood cancer, while improving their quality of life.

Join us for a morning of entertainment and help yourself to our morning tea and/or participate in our shaving and/or waxing activities. Be brave and get waxed for only $10 or shave for a $20 donation. Morning tea will also be available (minimum $5 donation applies).

When: Friday 17 March, 10am – 12pm

Where: Cafe PARC

Click here to donate or to sign up and join Team PARC. No matter how much you give, it’s an extraordinary way to make a difference.

We look forward to seeing you there.

This week, our PARC Swim team have organised some Commonwealth Games themed fun, to celebrate our Aussie athletes, who are absolutely dominating this year! 🥇

To celebrate, our PARC Swim teachers will include a small segment in this week’s lessons, using our snakes and ladders game, aligning a swimming activity with a participating sporting event 🏊🏃

Make sure to check out our activity table, and show support for Australia, or any other participating country by wearing their colours to your lesson this week! 
Have you heard of Habit Stacking? 🤔

It's a great way to add movement into your day by pairing small exercises with habits you already do - helping you be active and achieve 30-20-2, even when life is busy!

You can incorporate simple exercises into your daily task, such as:
- Squats while the kettle boils - turn waiting time into movement time.
- Calf raises while brushing your teeth - two minutes of strength, twice a day.
- Lunges down the hallway - every trip becomes a mini workout.
- Marching on the spot while folding laundry- complete some of your vigorous or moderate exercise every trip.
- Glute squeezes while sitting at your desk - perfect for busy workdays.

Remember, all movement counts 🙌
