Water Safety Lessons Information (starting 22 November)

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

All students will be involved in weekly Water Safety and Familiarisation lessons for later this term, starting Friday, 22nd November. These lessons are part of the NSW PDHPE syllabus and play an important role in your child's education.

 

It is expected that your child will attend these lessons.

 

Please note that our Sports Day will continue on Mondays each week with Platform & Co (Jake and Ellie). Students are required to wear their sports uniforms on Mondays and on the following specified dates:

  • Friday, 22nd November
  • Friday, 29th November
  • Thursday, 5th December
  • Tuesday, 10th December

Students should wear their sports uniform and bring their swimmers, a rash shirt, towel, slip-on shoes, and sunscreen. Additionally, please provide a plastic or suitable bag for wet swimming attire. 

 

There will be no entry fee of $2 or season ticket required for these events.

 

If your child is unable to participate but will still attend school, a message outlining why should be communicated to their classroom teacher via note or email.

 

For further information and to accept this event, access the Events page via your child’s profile on the Compass app or, alternatively, go to 

https://stjosephsweewaa-nsw.compass.education/Organise/Activities/Events/ by Friday, 15th November.

 

Kind Regards,

 

St Joseph’s Primary
