Swimming Program
Swimming lessons for this week have been running smoothly. Thank you to all the families and carers who adapted to our date changes yesterday pending weather coming in next week. The students have been getting a lot out of our program and I would like to thank our swim teachers who have helped run these sessions. Bron, Chris, Claire and Callum have all done amazing work.
A huge thank you to Steph for all the organistion in bringing this program together. It is a big undertaking and we all think you have provided an A1 program across all year levels.

Our Early Years students are continuing with our Perceptual Motor Program. This week we introduced some new activities into the rotation including dance.
Note from EDGE Aquatics Baranduda
Our school has been sent information about a swiming program avalible to families who have met the criteria for CSEF. Please see details below if this is something you are interested in applying for.
Swimming and water safety education is part of the F-10 Victorian Curriculum Health and Physical Education. School Swimming Outside of School Hours Vouchers are being provided to current primary school students in schools that have had challenges in scheduling their swimming lessons over the past few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and swim teacher shortages to ensure they have the knowledge and confidence to participate in aquatic activities.
The vouchers are for current primary school students who missed out on participating in school swimming and water safety programs due to the challenges in scheduling school swimming and water safety programs between 2020 and 2022 to help build their skills and knowledge to achieve the Victorian Water Safety Certificate (VWSC) and meet the Victorian Curriculum requirements.
EDGE Aquatics Baranduda will be holding an intensive swimming program during the summer holidays to accommodate for students to utilise these vouchers.
Dates for the program are as follows:
Week 1 Monday 8th January-Friday 12th January.
Week 2 Monday 15th- Friday 19th January.
Bookings will entail 5 x half hour lessons at a cost of $20 per lesson, $100 for a week booking.
Students will be assessed for the Victorian Water Safety Certificate. The VWSC sets out the swimming and water safety skills and knowledge that every Victorian student should have by the end of primary school. Swimming and water safety programs provided through this program should enable students to achieve their VWSC, which is how the Victorian Curriculum requirement is met. Once a student is assessed and achieve the competencies of the VWSC, EDGE will enter their details on the Life Saving Victoria
VWSC dashboard so that a certificate can be issued.
