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.

Be prepared to get dressed up! It's Pirate Day on Friday, 25th August (Week 6). Dress yourself in your best pirate outfit and accessories to raise awareness for childhood brain cancer. Please bring a gold coin donation so we can work together to raise money for this important cause. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in your best pirate outfits.

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).
