Visit to Canberra sports' institute
Students from the Girls Athletics Academy at Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus have visited the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra.
They spent three days there, living and training in the same environment as the athletes.
The girls took part in a volleyball session run by two members of the Institute's volleyball team and went on a tour of the Institute.
They also participated in a boxing class, played touch football and soccer and participated in some track and field exercises.
The Academy was started at the college earlier this year to encourage girls to get involved in sport.
