Swimming Lesson Term 3

All students need to be wearing their bathers when they arrive at the pool. Your child may wear their bathers under their uniform or get changed at school before they depart on the bus. If they wear their bathers to school it is important that the swim bag has dry underwear, towel and footwear that can be easily removed at the pool. All students will return on the bus in their bathers and change at school. They may wear an overshirt, tracksuit, dressing gown, or poncho over their bathers. Students are to provide their own fitted goggles if required.

Please label all belongings with your child’s name.

School Song

Our school song was written by students, and the original score was composed by music teacher, Kate Graham (past teacher).

We sing this song at every assembly and we encourage parents/guardians to join us.

Together

Many cultures, one voice

All together we have a choice

We join as one hand in hand

To become friends and understand

We stand together to achieve

Side by side we all believe

We are the home of the nesting swan

And all together we belong

Encourage, Endeavour, and Excel

We all have a story to tell

United in our diversity

We are a strong community

We stand together to achieve

Side by side we all believe

We are the home of the nesting swan

And all together we belong

We stand together to achieve

Side by side we all believe

We are the home of the nesting swan

And all together we belong

We are the home of the nesting swan

And all together we belong.

A version of this song is on our website sung by the choir (in 2017).
