Swimming Championships

On Wednesday February 18th, twenty-three swimmers from Williamstown North Primary School attended Werribee Pool to compete in the Williamstown District Swimming Championships.

Competing in freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and relay events, the students represented our school with great sportsmanship and athleticism. Thank-you to all students and congratulations on your efforts.

Ten of the swimmers who placed first and second in their respective events will now go onto the Divisional Swimming event in the coming weeks.

It will be amazing to see more Williamstown North PS students swimming for our school next year.

Canteen Volunteers

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are currently in need of parent volunteers to help out in the school canteen on Friday's from 11:45am to 2pm and must obtain a current Working With Children Check.

Volunteering in the canteen is a great way to support our school community and help ensure our students are well looked after during lunchtime. Even a short amount of time makes a big difference. Please note the Canteen is closed on Tuesdays.

If you are available to help, or would like more information, please contact the school office.

Thank you for your support — it is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

School Canteen Team
