Swimming Sports
Dear Parents/Guardians and students,
On Wednesday 11th February, all students will attend the Ballarat High School Swimming Sports day at Eureka pool.
Every student has been allocated a house in either Baird (Green), Brawn (Blue), Greenfield (Yellow) or Lawson (Red) and will be competing for house points. Students are encouraged to dress in their house colours. Students have the opportunity to earn points by swimming in competitive events, playing water volleyball and games in the smaller pool, playing 3 on 3 basketball and helping on the day. There will also be music students displaying their talents by entertaining the crowd. This is a great day for students to catch up with friends and be part of a whole school activity.
As a whole school excursion students will travel to and from the pool in buses; they do not make their way to the pool independently. Students will not be released from the pool during the day unless they have an appointment. Parents/guardians should report to the front gate and sign their students out for the appointment, as they do at the General Office normally. Students may be picked up from the pool at the end of the day – from 2.30pm onwards only. They can only be picked up by their parent/guardian and cannot leave with other students or their parents.
Students can bring food into the pool, purchase food from the pool canteen or purchase a sausage from the student leadership BBQ.
No food can be phone ordered and delivered to the pool during the day.
Students should pack their bathers, towel, goggles, sunscreen, hat, food and water/water bottle and they can arrive at school in their house colours or PE gear. As students will be returning to school, mobile phones should be placed in their locker for the day and electronic devices left at home.
From the results a swim team will be selected for the Eureka regional competition in Ballarat on Friday 6th March. Students and parents will be emailed with further information.
Looking forward to a fun day.
