Year 2 Mini Swimming Carnival - Wednesday 4 December, 2024 - 11.30am - 12.30pm - Playfair Pool

We are very excited to announce that Year 2 will compete in a Mini Swimming Carnival taking place in Week 8 on Wednesday 4 December from 11.30am - 12.30pm am in the Kambala Playfair pool.

This is a student only event that is a fantastic opportunity for Year 2 students to use their swimming skills in a competition.

Every student in Year 2 will participate in 3 events, freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. The focus of the carnival is fun, personal best and also aims to set Year 2 students up to succeed as they prepare to attend their first Junior School Swimming Carnival early in Term 1, 2025. A letter will be sent, via Sundial next week to Year 2 parents and carers that will contain further details of this event and what students will need to bring.

Both Year 2 classes have been working so hard on their swimming this term and we can’t wait to see them in action.
