POLOKWANE – Local families experienced a day of laughter, colour and inflatable excitement when the Big Bounce SA visited Mitchell House last Saturday.

The event, hosted on the school’s sports field, brought together family and friends of all ages for a day of fun inside the massive inflatable castle.

Organised by the Mitchell House Parents Association, the day was themed ‘The Ultimate Safari Adventure’, with attendees arriving in creative safari-inspired outfits, many in matching family sets.

While some relaxed under gazebos enjoying snacks and refreshments, others tackled the inflatable course, taking on slides, climbing sections, hoops and other fun obstacles, all while braving the warm weather.

To keep everyone cool, volunteers sprayed participants with water from hoses, adding to the laughter and festive atmosphere.

Food stalls offered a variety of treats, drinks and toys, including stuffed animals to match the safari theme.

School staff and parents volunteered throughout the day, managing ticket sales and helping with the activities to ensure the event ran smoothly.
