SWIMMING FOR SPORT 

Swimming for Sport will commence this Term in Week 4 on a Wednesday and will continue for Weeks 5 and 6 also. All staff will be at the pool during these water activities and children will be participating in relays and games. Following Swimming for Sport all Sacred Heart children will be participating in Aquatics during all of Week 7, Monday to Friday. 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. A Compass Event will be created for both swimming programs later this week or early next week for parents to give permission.
