Swimming lessons finish up for our Year 3-6 students on Friday and students born in 2013, 2014 and 2015 will participate in a heating session to assist with preparations for our Swimming Carnival on Thursday, September 18. 

This week, students nominated for their competitive 25m and 50m swimming events. During swimming events, students are required to wear a team-coloured swimming cap, to assist staff at the finish line. There will be a number of caps provided at the starting line, however if students would like to purchase a cap, they are required to give $3.00 to their classroom teacher prior to Thursday, September 4. 

While students receive 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons at the completion of each race, only students born in years 2013, 2014 and 2015 qualify for age champion events.

Woree Pool did not have a suitable date available for this year, so 2025 sees us return to Tobruk Pool for our carnival. Students are expected to arrive at school before 8:20am. Once classes have assembled on the basketball court, groups will begin their walk across to Tobruk Pool with their teachers. Races will commence at approximately 9:00. Parents attending the carnival are welcome to walk with us, or can meet us at the pool. 

At the completion of the carnival, classes will walk back to school ready for normal pick up processes. Students leaving prior to the end of the carnival must have their name marked off the roll at the pool exit.

What to wear: house sports uniform (with swimmers underneath), hat and shoes / thongs

What to bring: towel, sun shirt, sunblock, lunch, water bottle, team coloured swim cap (for those students who purchased one).

Please name all items. 

Prep, Year 1 and 2 students will remain at school on Thursday, September 18 and their acquired water safety skills will be on display at Sugarworld in Term 4.
