Wagga students were given the opportunity to share their view on what they want for a Wagga of the future.

Week two of Wagga View shifted to a schools program, where more than 200 Wagga students took part in activities that shared ideas and views on favourite spaces and places in the city. Using building blocks and a whole lot of creativity students also got to build a city they would like for the future.

The Wagga View Race was also run and won during the week. Three teams from TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, The Leisure Company and The Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga took part in a race across the city.

Teams competed in activities that reflected the liveability of Wagga. At the Turvey Park Fire Station competitors learnt what it was like to be a fire fighter, dressing in the uniform, unravelling a using a water hose. Down by Wagga Beach they took part in a crime and safety quiz hosted by Wagga Police. There were also environment challenges on recycling and tree planting.

The overall winner of the race, based on time and points scored for each activity was The Leisure Company.

Week three of Wagga View kicks off on Monday 30 May with the first of 27 stops on the ultimate Wagga View Road Show.
