Term 2 Swimming Lessons
In Term 2 students from Years 1 – 3 will attend swimming lessons at Heather’s Swim School, Main Street, Elliminyt. (Foundation students and Years 4, 5 and 6 will attend swimming lessons in Term 4).
Students will need to bring (or wear their bathers), a towel, goggles etc. Students may wear their sports uniform on their allocated swimming day. We do need MORE parent helpers to assist with the walking of children to the pool. If you can help out, can you please contact your child/children’s classroom teacher. A reminder to helpers; you must hold a current ‘Working With Children Check’ and the school office has sighted and entered your details.
Rosters have been sent home to those families that have offered to assist.
Can you please be at the school 30 minutes before the lesson time.
The swimming times for each class are as follows:
Tuesday - Year 1LC (11:30am – 12:00pm), Year 1MD (12:00pm – 12:30pm),
Year 2PM (12:30pm – 1:00pm), Year 2RB (1:00pm – 1:30pm), Year 1AG (1:30pm – 2:00pm),
