Dear Parents and Caregivers
As we approach the end of the Term break we are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday.
We wanted to remind you that our annual year 1-6 swimming lessons run for 2 weeks starting on Monday.
Year 1 – 6 students have their swimming programme at the Graham Condon Recreation Centre, with the use of the swimming instructors trained in teaching water skills, safety skills and swimming.
When students arrive at school next term they will need to have their named swimming gear in a seperate bag with them. Please ensure this (and their uniform) is well named (including socks and shoes). If Year 1 – 6 students would find it easier they may wear their PE uniform for the first 2 weeks of term as this is often easier for getting changed at the pool.
Each child will need a waterproof bag to store their swimming togs, towel, and comb. We recommend students wearing googles and some may prefer to use a cap as well. Many parents find the zip up supermarket bags are idea for carrying wet swimming gear.
Students are travelling in class groups by bus and the swimming timetable is as below. Parents are most welcome to watch their children make progress in their swimming lessons. The scheduled swimming times Monday to Friday in Weeks 1 and 2 are as follows:
All of K5 and some of K6 – 9.30 – 9.55
The rest of K6 and all of K1 – 10.00 – 10.25
H2 and K2 – 10.30 – 10.55
H1 and most of K3 – 11.015 – 11.40
Some of K3 and all of K4 – 11.45 – 12.15
