Spotlight on Students 

Swim Scheme

Last week, students from years 2,3 and 4 attended swimming and water safety lessons at Wentworthville Aquatic Centre. Great progress was made by all students. Their confidence in the water was improved by the wonderful support and encouragement they displayed to each other. To continue their development, all students are encouraged to participate in further swimming lessons during the warmer weather. Being able to swim is a skill for life.
