Otherwise, all students will a end these lessons on a Friday.

S S C A reminder to everyone that our swimming carnival will be held this Friday 9th February. ALL CHILDREN are to go straight to the Swimming pool (not school). Buses will drop the children off at the pool in the morning. The carnival will start at 9:15am sharp and conclude at around 2:00pm. Students may go home with parents at the conclusion of the carnival. The carnival will only be postponed In the event of severe thunderstorms. The back up date will be Friday 16th February.

The toddler pool will be open during the day for tabloids and games that will be organised and supervised by Mrs Campbell and Ms Blandford.

We also ask if parents could please take responsibility to supervise any siblings who do not a end school if they are in the toddler pool. PLEASE REMEMBER: Those children who DO NOT have a season cket for the swimming pool will need to bring $3.00 for entry into the pool.
