Swimming Reminders
The swimming program has commenced for our Prep students and will commence in the coming weeks for other year levels. Please see the dates below for each year level’s scheduled swimming program. This event has been posted in Compass with all the details and requires parent consent.
The cost of swimming this year will be approximately $20, which covers the cost of the bus travel. The actual swimming and water safety lesson costs are covered by funding received from DET.
Please speak to your child’s classroom teacher should you have any queries regarding swimming.
