• The Carnival will start at 9am and is expected to conclude between 12:30 - 1:15pm

Carpark and Transport

• Carpark - Des Renford has a public car park next to the Leisure centre

• Transport - Students are to make their own way to the pool and home. Students must make sure they check public transport or make arrangements well in advance to ensure they are at the pool at 8:45am for roll call.

   

All student supervision will conclude at 1.00pm, therefore, could all parents/carers please ensure that your daughter has made adequate arrangements for her return home at the conclusion of the carnival. Pool authorities do not permit children to remain at the pool and they must leave at the conclusion of the carnival.

Please note that the Swimming Carnival is a compulsory College event. If your daughter is absent on the day of the carnival due to illness, please contact the school and inform them of her absence either by leaving your message on voicemail or contacting the office at 9:00am. On her return to school she must present a doctor’s certificate to her homeroom teacher.

The carnival will be held regardless of weather

All students must come prepared with hats, sunscreen and drink bottles. If it is wet weather you are advised to bring appropriate clothing.

If the Carnival must be postponed a message will be placed on COMPASS by 7:00am.

If there is no message then the Carnival is on!

Canteen facilities will be available all day! 

Dress for the Carnival

Students may dress up in their House Colours for the carnival but they must make sure they are in appropriate clothing to travel in. NO PAINT IS TO BE USED AT ANY TIME AS DRESS  UP.  If you do not wish to dress up you are to wear the correct PE uniform.

All students must be aware of sun safety and wear appropriate clothing to prevent sunburn as well as using sunscreen and wearing a hat.  Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.

Parents and family members are all welcome to attend on the day but a reminder that all students are expected to sit in the stands with their house.

We hope to see lots of participation from all girls and great team spirit. Good luck to all teams and all swimmers.

No student will be allowed to leave before the end of the carnival.
