Class Swimming:
Please remember to check your students belongings to ensure they are still named – we have had quite a few items over the last couple of weeks left behind which have not been named making it difficult to return the their owners.
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
