Swimming Lesson Term 3

All students need to be wearing their bathers when they arrive at the pool.  Your child may wear their bathers under their uniform or get changed at school before they depart on the bus. If they wear their bathers to school it is important that the swim bag has dry underwear, towel and footwear that can be easily removed at the pool. All students will return on the bus in their bathers and change at school. They may wear an overshirt, tracksuit, dressing gown or poncho over their bathers. Students are to provide their own fitted goggles if required.  Please label all belongings with your child’s name.

Apply now to enrol your child in 2024

Application for new enrolments in the 2024 school year is now open and should be made by Friday 21st July 2023. Enrolment Application forms can be found on our website or from School Reception. 

 

You will need to apply to enrol for 2024 if:

  • Your child is starting Kindergarten in 2024 (Born 1st July 2019 - 30th June 2020)
  • If your child is attending the Burrendah Primary School Kindergarten in 2023 and you live outside the school intake boundary, you will need to enrol for Pre-primary 2024.

All other children do not need to enrol. We will assume they are coming back to Burrendah in 2024 unless you tell us otherwise. Please inform Reception, by email at burrendah.ps@education.wa.edu.au if for any reason your children will not be attending Burrendah Primary School in 2024.

 

Parents of our Year 6 students must enrol their child into a secondary school. Please make sure you have enrolled your child at their local secondary school by the end of this term.
