Year 1 Swimming

Year 1 swimming continues this week. They will go to the pool by bus from 1:45pm – 3:00pm each Thursday starting this week, 31 October, for 5 weeks. Students are to come to school in their full school uniform – they will get changed at snack. If they prefer they may wear their swimmers underneath their uniform. Sports uniform should not be worn. All gear needs to be labelled – including their uniform, undies and socks. Please send their swimming gear in a separate bag to their schoolbag so as this can be taken with them to the pool. Students will need goggles (if possible), towel, thongs and swimmers (if not wearing them on the day). There is no cost for students.
