Our 2 successful annual free events -  Dorset School Games Sailing Regatta and the Can Do Festival for SEND Pupils will be held at Poole Park Lake – BH15 2SF in June next year. Water training sessions available in preparation for this. After a 2-year break, it was wonderful to be able to offer the event in 2022 and this was very much reflected in the feedback we receive from some lovely local schools and teachers:

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the last two days. It was such a well organised event that had everything covered. The children had an amazing time, both on and off the water, and the instructors were brilliant: energetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful. Please pass on my thanks to all involved. We hope to be back next year!" Andrea, Cranborne Middle School

"Hi just wanted to thank you for a very well organised event today that our students really enjoyed . Please pass on our thanks to School Games staff and the work experience students who were super." Mark, Wey Valley Academy
