Dates to Remember, Important Information & Handouts
Important Swimming Information (re-run from Sentral notice)
Dear Parents and Carers,
Please be advised that there will be no swimming sessions in Week 4 (Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th October) as a School Sports Australia event is being held at the Ballarat and Lifestyle Aquatic Centre.
We are pleased to inform you that the scheduled session for all year levels will now take place in Week 10, on Thursday 11th December. This session will be the Simulated Open Water Program, which is an exciting and valuable addition to the Ballarat Aquatic Centre Swimming and Water Safety Program.
Further information regarding times for this session will be shared closer to the date along with the Simulated Open Water Program overview.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Kind regards, Katherine Donnan
