Monikie and Newbigging Primary Schools choose name for Aquapark at Monikie

ANGUSalive have revealed that their recently announced aquapark at Monikie Country Park is to be called Angus Aqua Splash.

The pupils at Monikie and Newbigging Primary Schools were asked to help ANGUSalive name the aquapark, which is set to launch in early May this year.

The task was a perfect fit as part of their “Rights Respecting Schools” plans this term, where classes have been discussing article 12 – Ensuring Children’s Voices are Heard.

Colin Knight, acting chief executive at ANGUSalive commented:

We are delighted to see the creativity and enthusiasm from the pupils at Monikie and Newbigging Primary Schools. The name they’ve chosen is perfect for the aquapark and we are very pleased they will be some of the first to enjoy the aquapark when it is ready. ANGUSalive is very much about our community and this has been a perfect launch to this project

Kellie Smith, Head Teacher of Monikie and Newbigging Primary Schools:

This has been a great experience for our pupils, I know they have felt very listened to over the last couple of weeks with this task. They’re delighted to have been asked and we are as excited as they are to see the aquapark open.”

Head teacher Mrs Smith with pupils Ayla, Oliver, and Iain Brough from ANGUSalive.

Angus Aqua Splash will be the first of its kind in the county and is poised to become a hub of activity at Monikie Country Park. ANGUSalive is currently hiring for 9 new jobs as part of the £134,740 investment, which will add to ANGUSalive’s outdoor activity offering which includes kayaking, stand up paddleboarding and open water swimming, as well as a host of on land activities.

The next steps of the project are set to be the anchoring of the product, with works due to start towards the end of March.
