Swim Fest: 5 - 9 May
SwimFest returns 5-9 May and will take place for learners from Nursery - Year 9 on the days and times in the image.
Learners need to bring swimming kit, including goggles and swim cap, a named water bottle and sunscreen.
If your child's SwimFest session starts at 8:40am, they can come into school wearing their swim kit under their school uniform.
Year 3 and Year 5 learners are asked to bring in a snack from home as their usual break time may change, and they will not be able to access the cafeteria. Lunchtime is not affected.
Primary parents are invited to watch from the Level 2 Walkway, or the Level 1 Pool Grandstand. Secondary parents are invited to watch from the Level 2 Walkway.
We understand that as parents, you may want to take photos of your own children but please ensure that other learners are not photographed. Please do not share photos of other learners on social media. This is especially important given that the learners will be in swimwear.
If it rains, SwimFest will still take place. However if the lightning alarm is on, we will have to cancel SwimFest activities to ensure everyone's safety.
