Class Swimming:

Thank you to all those parents/grandparents/carers who have been coming to the pool each week to assist with swimming for Prep, Year 1 and or Year 2 Classes.  Your assistance is really appreciated and makes such a difference to the students.

Can all parents please check that UNIFORMS and SWIMMING GEAR is named. We waste considerable time each week during lessons sorting out the missing shirt, lost shorts and left behind swimming gear.  Naming it makes this much easier and quicker, not to mention fewer losses for you and your students. 

Over the last few weeks there has been an increase in the number of students not bringing all of their gear swimming.  Please ensure that your child has everything they need for our swimming lessons, to save us precious time.

• Swimming Cap
• Sunsafe Shirt – students cannot swim without something covering their shoulders – a rashie/sunshirt or T-shirt. The only exception to this is the swim suits which have built in long or short sleeves.
• Goggles – while these are not compulsory – many students are more comfortable wearing them. If your students wishes to wear these please make sure they have their own. While there are some spares at the pool a lot of time can be wasted with the sheer volume of students borrowing goggles. It takes a lot of time and hands to adjust so many goggles, which inevitably is needed when they are borrowing our spares.If they have their own they will fit them without needing adjustment.

Students unable to swim due to illness:

If your child is unable to swim on any particular week, please send a note to school with your child or email me at aawoo0@eq.edu.au

District Sport Trials:

Congratulations to Sienna and Layla who both qualified for the City District team at the regional trials. Good luck and swim EXTRA fast.

Well done to all the recent trialists. It has been very hard competition, I hear.
