										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year, Morningside State School celebrates an incredible milestone &#8211; 100 years at the heart of the local community.</p>
<p>The school officially opened on 16 August 1926. From its beginnings with a single weatherboard building, Morningside State School has grown alongside the community. Today, its grounds include eleven buildings, tennis courts, an oval and, of course, the much-loved swimming pool.🏊‍♀️</p>
<h3>A pool built with community spirit 💙</h3>
<p>The school’s history tells us that the swimming pool was dug by parents in the 1950s—a wonderful example of the community spirit that continues to make Morningside State School so special.</p>
<p>More than 60 years later, the pool remains an important part of school and community life.</p>
<p>Hampton Swim School feels very lucky to teach children to swim at the Morningside State School pool, helping new generations build confidence, learn lifelong water-safety skills and create their own happy memories within these historic school grounds.</p>
<h3>Help us celebrate &#8211; and you could win! 🎁</h3>
<p>To mark the school’s centenary, we’re collecting <strong>100 things that make a day at the pool awesome</strong>—and we would love to hear from you!</p>
<p>It might be learning a new skill, jumping into the water, playing with friends, receiving a high-five from your teacher or simply enjoying that wonderful feeling of being in the pool.</p>
<p>Tell us what makes a day at the pool awesome for your chance to <strong>win one month of swimming lessons at Hampton Swim School</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>👉 <a href="https://www.hamptonswimschool.com.au/about-us/mss-100year-comp">Enter the competition here</a></strong></p>
<p>Happy 100th birthday, Morningside State School! Here’s to a century of learning, friendship and community—and many more years of making a splash.</p>
