Swimming R-6
Swimming lessons are happening next week (week 7) for Reception to Year 6 (Monday to Friday). As always it is an educational and exciting experience for our students. We will be heading to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, North Adelaide.
Swimming lessons are a compulsory part of the Australian Curriculum with a focus on building confidence, water safety skills and stroke development. It is imperative that students attend and complete swimming lessons in preparation for aquatics in Year 7, and as a life long safety skill.
A medical certificate must be produced and an exemption form completed if your child is unable to attend lessons.
Parents are encouraged to take note of the following information:
- Take note of bus departure times – late arrivals will require parent/caregiver to transport directly to the pool.
- Swimming/Aquatic Consent Form must be returned to the class teacher as soon as possible. With Medical Plans if required
- Payment must be made to the school by Wednesday 28th August. Today!!
The Adelaide Aquatic Centre has advised that NO SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED TO ATTEND DURING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS.

Fundraiser for Childhood Cancer
One of our wonderful students Steele is support his friend 'Nugget' who is battling leukaemia. Steele is seeking your support via a fundraiser for childhood cancer. Please visit his page to hear about his approach and how you can support.
My name is Steele I am 7 years old & the youngest of 4 children. I am raising money to support my friend we call “Nugget” in his battle with leukaemia. I am getting my principal from school to shave my head at assembly on September the 11th so I can have a matching haircut with Nugget and so he doesn’t feel like he is doing this alone.
Well done Steele!
