Swimming starts today 1 May 2023

Please make sure your child has a bathing cap as well as bathers, towel and possibly goggles.
Please note that this programme is our biggest investment of time and money, totally paid for by the school. While many students resist swimming lessons they remain an essential part of our safety, health and well being program and considered most important by the Federal and State
Departments’ of Education.

In an island state, with a national record for drowning last summer, we consider this program of
overwhelming importance to the futures of our students.
Please make sure your child receives these lessons as they are pre – paid by the school.
