Acacia proudly supporting local groups.

Thank you to Acacia Bayside Swimming Club, who train many of our students, for kindly donating a spin bike to our school. The whole school community will benefit from this addition to our school gym. Special thank you to one of our parents Nicole, who organised the delivery of the bike.

Over the weekend, Harper and her mum kindly donated one of the spins bikes that the club no longer has space for to the local Wynnum Wolves FC club.

Due to weather and flooding issues early in 2022, Wolves were unable to access their gym fully, but are excited to receive this bike which will most certainly be put to good use.

It is always nice to support local community clubs, giving back to this area.

Acacia has given assistance to the Wolves, who suffered large losses in the recent floods.
We are glad to partner with those in need. WolvesFC

GENEROUS DONATION 🚲

Wynnum Wolves FC would like to send a huge thankyou to the Acacia Bayside Swimming Club for the donation of a spin bike to use in our gym at Carmichael Park.

The swimming club has generously reached out to a number of sporting and community groups around the Bayside area to donate some equipment they no longer have the room for at their club.

With the constant wet weather issues the club has faced this year Wolves’ temporary gym area has been given quite a workout by our teams throughout the 2022 season under the guidance of our Strength and Conditioning coaches Jamie Wilson and Chris Cooper who were very happy to accept the generous donation from Acacia members Harper Clay and Nicole Breeze.

The new bike will certainly be put to good use so we sincerely appreciate the kind donation from our fellow community sporting club.
