We had our final Swim Squad session last Tuesday, a big thank-you to Jenny Todd for running this. Again, I would like to thank Austin, Scarlett and Layla (Grade 6) who have been assisting with coaching. We have had an incredible turnout, I look forward to seeing you all back in Term 1.
Beach Day
I wanted to congratulate and thank our 3/4 and 5/6 students for their wonderful enthusiasm and energy at the Beach Days held last week. Although the weather was a little murky to start, the students loved each activity, there was much laughter, fun and learning during the 6 rotational activities.
A special mention to Annabel, Owen, John, Adriana and the many parents who assisted throughout the day.
A very big thank-you to the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, Henry Kiss from LSV and our classroom teachers for their wonderful support and for providing water safety and instruction.
