Water Safety Program 2020
Our Reception-Year 5 students were scheduled to participate in the Department of Education Water Safety Program at Noarlunga Leisure Centre in Week 1 (20/7-24/7) of Term 3.
Due to Covid-19, all swimming centres were closed and have now re-opened with restrictions to the general public, but not to schools. Due to this the Water Safety Program will be cancelled for this year.
Year 7 To High School
Primary and high schools are working hard to plan for the move of Yr 7 to high school in 2022. If your child is in Yr 5 or 6 this year, they will be graduating from primary school next year. Primary schools are thinking now about how to make your child's last year in primary school a positive experience.
High school planning is also in full swing to welcome Yr 7 and 8s together in 2022.
Primary and high schools are working together at every level to make the move a success for your child.
