As the school year winds down and the Perth summer heats up, schools and sports clubs across WA start planning their big end-of-year celebrations. Whether it’s a lively school fete, a sports carnival, or a club wind-up day, there’s one surefire way to keep everyone cool, active, and smiling inflatable water slides.
Water slides add a wow factor that no other attraction can match. They’re fun, safe, and perfect for kids (and teachers!) of all ages. So, if you’re organising your next big outdoor event, here’s your complete guide to the best water slides to hire for schools and sports days and why they’re a must-have this summer.
- Why Water Slides Are Perfect for School Events
When it comes to school fetes or sports days, organisers are looking for activities that:
- Keep kids entertained for hours.
- Are safe and easy to supervise.
- Offer something fresh and exciting.
- Work well in the summer heat.
Inflatable water slide hire ticks to every one of those boxes. It’s a crowd favourite that keeps energy levels high and boredom at bay even for older students who might think they’ve “outgrown” school events.
Unlike traditional rides, water slides are portable, scalable, and budget-friendly, making them ideal for schools and clubs with varying space and age groups.
Water Slides are available only for private schools, or at public schools in undercover areas as per the interim ban on the outdoor use of inflatable structures issued by the Department of Education WA. If you have any questions about this, please contact us on en*******@*************om.au

- Benefits of Inflatable Water Slide Hire for Schools & Clubs
Beyond fun and excitement, hiring a water slide offers a range of practical benefits for organisers:
Safe & Supervised Fun
All Monsterball inflatables are fully insured, safety-checked, and operated by trained staff. Our team handles setup, supervision, and pack-down so your teachers or volunteers can focus on the event itself.
Learn more about our commitment to safety on our Inflatable Safety page.
Budget-Friendly for Schools
Compared to traditional amusement rides or external venues, inflatable hire offers excellent value. You get big entertainment with small setup costs and no need for expensive transport or ticketed attractions.
Clubs and schools can even offset hire costs by running fundraisers or gold-coin entry systems, making water slides both fun and financially sustainable.
Perfect for Perth’s Summer Weather
With long sunny days and clear skies, Perth’s summer events practically demand water-based entertainment. Water slides provide instant heat relief and keep kids active for hours, without the risk of sun fatigue or dehydration (with proper shade and water breaks, of course).
Inclusive & Crowd-Pleasing
Unlike many sports or activities that appeal to specific age groups, water slides work for everyone. From kindy to Year 12, every student can join in even if the staff often take a turn once the crowd thins out!
Easy Logistics & Setup
Monsterball takes the stress out of event prep. We handle delivery, setup, supervision, and pack-down leaving organisers free to run raffles, coordinate stalls, or enjoy the fun.
No complicated installations, no water wastage, and no mess left behind.
- How to Choose the Right Water Slide for Your Event
Here are a few tips for picking the perfect inflatable for your school or club:
- Consider your audience: Younger kids? Go for smaller slides like the Lil Splash.
- Estimate your crowd size: For big events, dual-lane slides or combos reduce wait times.
- Check your space: Measure your oval or field our team can help find the best fit.
- Decide on your vibe: Want competition? Try an obstacle combo. Want classic fun? Go for a themed water slide.
Our team at Monsterball can guide you through all options based on your budget, age group, and venue size.
