School Aquatics Program Commencing Next Week

This year our school aquatics program will be held every day of the week commencing next week (4th-8th December). A note was out earlier last week via the COMPASS App. Thank you to the parents who have already consented for their child/ren to take part in this program. If you haven't completed the consent component of this event, can you please do so at your earliest convenience?

The K-2 students will be having their session from 11.30 am until 12.30 pm. 

The Year 3-6 students will commence straight after the first session and conclude at 1.30pm. 

Due to our Year 6 Graduation and End of Year Mass on Friday 8th December, The Year 3-6 students will have their session from 9.00am-10.00am and the K-2 students will commence straight after the senior session and conclude at 10.45am. 

The swimming sessions will be led by James Harwood and his qualified instructors.

Can you please ensure that your child brings in their swimming gear (as instructed on the note) and that they do not wear their swimmers under their school uniform when they arrive at school? The students will be getting changed before they board the bus to the Walcha Swimming Pool.

It would be very much appreciated if all of the student's swimming gear and clothing are fully labeled.

Hopefully, we will have ideal weather for swimming for the whole week!

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook

St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook. This book is designed to give all members associated with our school a clearer understanding of when our school conducts our various sporting carnivals, the processes/qualifying times involved for students who want to represent our school at Diocesan sporting events as well as an explanation of the representative sporting pathways your child may want to undertake in their respective sports.
