SWIMMING

This Wednesday 1st November will see all students K-6 commence swimming for sport for the next three weeks. A COMPASS event was communicated to parents last week with payment details including all aquatics activities until the end of the year. Please ensure that your child packs their swimmers, sunscreen, towel and goggles if your child is more comfortable in the water with them. Thongs are also a  great idea when walking back and forth to the pool, especially if you have wet feet. The children will be supervised at the pool by all staff and accompanied by staff to and from the pool. If you haven't already given permission and made payment, please do so before the expiry of 11:59pm on Tuesday 31st November. If permission has not been received by this time, your child will not be permitted to attend swimming. 

Aquatic Skills will be held every day of Week 7. We will have two highly qualified instructors from Gunnedah; Louise Shanley and Maxine Kiellor taking groups each day and working on learn to swim and stroke correction. Children that aren't swimming with these instructors will be swimming with other staff for the week. Confident swimmers will be working on water safety and endurance. 

If for any reason your child is unable to swim, please ensure that the reason is emailed or sent into the office.
