Dear Parents and Carers,

In the lead up to the Inter-house Swimming Carnival, students in Years 3 to 6 will participate in swimming trials. Selected Year 2 students who can swim an entire lap (25m) of a stroke (freestyle, breaststroke) may also be selected to attend these trials but parents will be contacted individually or you can contact the school.

These trials will occur Wednesday's from Weeks 2 to 5 at 1.30pm to 2.15pm for Years 3-6. Wednesday Week 6 will consist of a practise run for the upcoming carnival between 1.30pm to 2.15pm. 

Students will walk to and from the pool. If you do not have a season pass for the pool, you will be required to pay $3 per child for entry to the pool. Students who do not bring their money will participate in sport at school instead of attending swimming.

All students compete in their year groups. Students will be timed in each faction for Freestyle, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Backstroke. This is only for the INDIVIDUAL events at the carnival. If your child does not qualify for an individual event they still attend the carnival and compete in the novelty events.

Please make sure that your child brings their bathers, towel, thongs and goggles for each of the days they are swimming. Sunscreen will be provided by the school however if your child needs an alternative sunscreen please make sure you have provided your child with this. 

We are also searching for volunteers to assist with the timing of students during the above times. If you can assist, we would love to hear from you via the attached permission form. I will contact those who are available to assist directly to confirm.

Please complete the permission below, along with payment (if applicable), ASAP.

I realise this is short notice, however we are keen to give every opportunity for students to practice. 

Students who do not return forms and payment (where applicable) by due date will not attend the pool for the training session; they will remain at school.

If you have any queries, please contact the Primary School on (08) 9765 0032.
