Primary Swimming and Water Safety
A reminder that the 10 day Grade 3-5 Swimming and Water Safety Program begins this coming Monday 20 November.
(A small number of selected Grade 6 students also participate in the program.)
Grade 5 and 6 students will be swimming from 12:15-1:15 leaving school at 12:00
Grade 3 and 4 students will be swimming from 1:15-2:15, leaving school at 1:00.
Please ensure that your child brings along their bathers, towel, change of underwear, plastic bag for wet clothes, hair brush.
A swimming cap will be provided to all students.
Please also note that students not swimming on a particular day will need a note from parents and will still be expected to attend the pool in order to observe the learning undertaken by their group, including any theory around water safety that is discussed as part of each session.
Swimming also tends to make children quite hungry afterwards, so packing an extra piece of fruit in lunchboxes is also a good idea.
