Swimming R-6

This year swimming lessons will occur throughout week 7 for Reception to Year 5. As always it is an educational and exciting experience for our students. This year we will be heading to the  Adelaide Aquatic Centre, North Adelaide. Swimming lessons are a compulsory part of the Australian Curriculum with a focus on building confidence, water safety skills and stroke development. 

 

It is imperative that students attend and complete swimming lessons in preparation for aquatics in Year 6 and as a lifelong safety skill. A medical certificate must be produced and an exemption form completed if your child is unable to attend lessons

 

Parents are encouraged to take note of the following information: 

  • Take note of bus departure times – late arrivals will require a parent/caregiver to transport them directly to the pool (picture).
  • Swimming/Aquatic Consent Form must be returned to the class teacher as soon as possible.  With Medical Plans if required
  • Payment must be made to the school by Thursday 1st September.
