School Holiday Activities at KLP It has been a very busy school holiday program filled with fun, excitement, activity and energy. Throughout the 2 week program children

participated in a variety of sports and craft activities including laser tag, beach volleyball, cupcake wars, megasports and much more. We

made some great memories over this time and want to thank all participants on their great behaviors and enthusiasm! We look forward to

seeing you in our upcoming Term 3 Programs and future Holiday Programs.

A NEW FACE AROUND THE PLACE:

Ben Unbehaun: Leisure Duty Manager - Programs

Ben and his family relocated to Karratha in January due to his wife’s employment with Woodside,

meaning he had to resign from his role with Cottesloe SLSC and his daily view of Rottnest.

With a plan to be a stay at home Dad for the duration of the stay in Karratha, by May the plan had

changed and Ben started work at the Leisureplex in June.

In recent years Ben’s career has been focused on golf and surf clubs and is now a member of both

clubs at Karratha.

At the Leisureplex he as moved into the Duty Manager—Programs role focusing on Leisureplex

Term & Holiday Programs and Adult Social Sports.

We would like to welcome Ben to the KLP team and look forward to the exciting ideas and

programs he will bring to this role.

Congratulations Social Sport Teams

Our Term 2 seasons concluded just prior to school holidays with fiercely contested Grand Finals in Netball and Mixed Futsal.

The Pilbara Princesses were victorious over Kickers, 39—34. In what may have seemed like a close game, the Pilbara Princesses were still able to

showboat for the paparazzi, when the photographer came past.

In the Mixed Futsal, Lvl 18 Paladin completed the season undefeated by beating Ball Rash, 7—5 in the final.

New seasons commence Tuesday 26th July for both competitions, running for 8 weeks.

If you’d like to nominate a team for next term, please see the customer services officers at reception or visit the Karratha Leisureplex website:

FIVE SIGNS YOU’RE EATING TOO MANY CARBOHYDRATES (and what to do instead):

Eating too many of certain carbs has many bad effects on our bodies:

We gain fat because we overeat

We feel more stressed out

We have trouble controlling what we eat

We develop insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides & other health problems

But eating the right kind of carbs is very beneficial:

It makes fat loss easier

It improves sleep & minimizes our stress response

It can improve athletic performance & make workouts feel

better

It eliminates food cravings & reduce our tendency to overeat.

What’s going on at the

Tambrey Oval?

Construction of the Tambrey Pavilion at the

Tambrey Oval is coming along nicely with the

roofing, lining and pathway works well

underway.

Once complete the facility will provide an

excellent sporting hub for Karratha’s western

suburbs with change rooms, a community hall

and umpire rooms for local sports teams and

community groups.

Construction is set to be complete in early

October 2016.

Splash Pad Update:

Oh , La, La! The Splash Pad is half-way through it’s NEW

facelift and is looking fantastic!

So far the existing soft concrete top-coat has been removed.

A new cinnamon coloured surface has been poured and is

being left to cure for a few weeks.

The Splash features are also receiving a new coat of paint and

should be completed shortly .

Once the surface has set, Pindan will begin the process of

re-securing and finalizing the reconnection of the Splash

features.

The reopening isn't too far away, so rest assured kids you can

expect the same Splash Pad this Summer!!
