Swimming Carnival

The Wantirna annual Swimming Carnival is fast approaching and will be held on Tuesday 27th February. Consent for the upcoming Swimming Carnival is now on Compass.

Consent MUST be obtained via Compass strictly one day prior to the event (Monday 26th February). No payment for the swimming carnival is required as this has been paid through the sporty levy.

We would like to emphasise to students and parents that attendance to the Swimming Carnival is compulsory for all students. Students are required to attend home group as per usual, and will then travel by bus to and from the venue.

Students are encouraged to dress up in their home group colour theme. Students should speak to their home group teacher regarding their colour theme. Year 12 students are encouraged to start thinking about their carnival costumes keeping in mind that any body paint will prevent them from entering the water.  The annual year 12 parade will be taking place once again! Student’s swimwear and other worn clothing should be suitable for a school event at a public venue.

Students are required to bring bathers, towel, lunch, drinks, sunscreen and a hat for the day. There will be a canteen selling limited food and drinks on the day.

For those that do not wish to take part in formal sports, there is still plenty to do with numerous novelty events, and prizes on offer. The carnival is a great chance for the student body and staff to come together and enjoy one of two whole school events.

We would like to ask all parents to please approve consent on Compass as soon as possible, to ensure attendance at the event, and to assist staff in avoiding the need to chase consent from students.

If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me,

Regards,

Nathan Rogers

Leader of Sport
