The pass encourages students to build healthy, independent exercise habits in a safe and welcoming environment throughout the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"headerBar\">What the pass includes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible Year 10 students can purchase a <strong>40-visit pass <\/strong>providing access to the following facilities:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wodonga Sports &amp; Leisure Centre &#8211; Gym, Group Fitness Classes, Pools&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wodonga WAVES&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Albury Swim Centre&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lavington Swim Centre&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wssc.vic.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AWAF-flyer_2025_lbr.pdf\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','download','https:\/\/www.wssc.vic.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AWAF-flyer_2025_lbr.pdf']);\" >AWAF flyer<\/a> for further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"headerBar\">Important expectations \u2013 keeping our Gym respectful and safe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a <strong>complimentary program, <\/strong>and participation is a privilege. To ensure a safe, hygienic and respectful environment for all members, students are expected to always follow facility rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key requirements include:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enclosed shoes (runners) must be worn in the gym&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A large towel (bath or beach size) is required for gym entry&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Towels must be placed over seats or benches before sitting or lying on equipment upholstery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHY?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a towel helps protect the equipment by absorbing body moisture and oils, preventing them from seeping into the upholstery. This reduces wear, cracking and hygiene issues, helping keep the equipment clean, comfortable and in good condition for everyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will be given a towel as part of their sign up. If they forget to bring it, they&nbsp;will have the opportunity to <strong>purchase a towel for <\/strong>a <strong>discounted price of $2.50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect for staff, other members and shared spaces is mandatory. <strong>Failure to follow facility rules or display respectful behaviour may result in the pass being revoked.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We appreciate your support <\/strong>in reinforcing these expectations with your child and helping us create a positive, inclusive environment where young people feel motivated to attend and succeed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"headerBar\">Supporting students to feel confident<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will also be encouraged to book a <strong>complimentary appointment with one of our trainers<\/strong>, where they can learn how to safely and confidently use gym equipment and get the most out of their visits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"headerBar\">How to apply<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like your child to participate, <strong>parental\/guardian permission is required<\/strong>.
