Pupil Absence/Appointments

Sports Day - Wednesday 12 July 2023

Pupils have been informed of the plan for Sports Day tomorrow (although there is one major change highlighted in bold). We would appreciate your support in reminding them of our expectation as follow: 

·          Pupils who are taking part must arrive at college wearing their Swanmore College PE kit. Please encourage competitors to wear a T-shirt in their house colour:
Attenborough = Yellow
Hawking = Red
MacArthur = Blue
Whittle = Green

·          Anyone who is not competing must wear their normal College uniform and follow their usual timetable.

·          All pupils must go to tutor in the morning to register and remain with their tutor until 8:40 am.

·          At the start of each lesson (Periods 1, 2, 3 and 4) competitors must go straight to their lesson to register with their teacher and then go to their activity area with their bags. They will remain at the event for the whole lesson.

·          Year Groups are competing as follows: P1 = Year 8, P2 = Year 10, P3 = Year 9 & P4 = Year 7

·          After lunch, all pupils should go to their tutor base and register with their tutor.  This is important for the afternoon registers to be correct.  

·          At 13:10 pupils will leave their bags in their tutor room and go to the bottom field with a chair to watch the Tug-of-War and Relay events. 

Tutor groups in science labs are allowed to visit the Main Hall and take a chair from there, ensuring they return the chairs at the end of the day.

·          Tutors and their tutees will be sitting under the trees in their designated House area.

·          Competitors must sit outside of the track by the Long Jump pit.

·          Year 11 tutors will be supervising the competitors.

·          The whole college will remain on the bottom field to support and cheer on competitors during P5 & P6.

·          Everyone should bring a drink bottle with plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat.

Many thanks and may the best house win!!!

Water Bottles

Please ensure your child brings a refillable water bottle to college with them each day. We do not currently have any disposable cups left, so pupils will need to bring their own bottle or purchase one on site and ensure they keep this and refill it as needed.
