Regular Swimming Lessons are conducted in our School Pool during Term
One and Term Four. All
children will be required to have a swim shirt or T-shirt prior to the
commencement of swimming lessons.
We also remind parents/carers of the need for
children to apply sunscreen for swimming lessons and ensure all necessary
equipment including swimming bag, sunscreen, togs, towel, goggles (optional),
swim caps (optional), change of underwear etc. is brought to school on their swimming
day.
All children will be expected to participate in swimming
lessons unless a note from their parents, detailing the reason they cannot swim
on that day, is presented to the office. Alternatively, parents may choose to
contact the office by phone. This is an essential component of the HPE
curriculum and I appreciate the support of parents in ensuring all students
participate. Students swim in their usual time slot for PE lessons.
All swimming costs are covered by the school.
The pool is co-managed with the South Burnett
Council, so is available for use to the public outside school hours.
