The senior swimming carnival takes place next week (Tuesday 3^rd December) starting at 9:00am.  We aim to be finished by around 2:30pm. Nominations have now closed for this event.  There will be a full program of events running on the day, along with sessions of novelty races and a free swim!  Please ensure you have completed the consent forms on QParents, or on a paper copy, as no consent means no entry to the pool. 

The children have two options for arriving at the carnival.  Parents, you may drop children at school by 8:30am to walk down with school staff, or you may take your children directly to the pool to be handed over to staff at the gate there.  If you choose the second option, please don’t bring them until at least 8:40am.  These children will then be supervised in their house areas until everyone is at the pool.  Of course, if you are attending as a spectator or volunteer you may bring your children with you.  Rolls will be marked before events begin.

Thank you to those parents who have volunteered to help with timekeeping at the pool – you will be contacted in the coming week to let you know which session you will be required.

Please remember the following details:

• Lunch, sunscreen, hats, plenty of water and sun safe swimming gear need to be packed. There will be shade provided on the day.  If hair is below shoulder length, it needs to be well tied up, or a swimming cap needs to be worn. 

• If your child is walking to the pool in the morning, please ensure they wear togs underneath their sports house uniform if possible. Closed in shoes must be worn for the walk.  The children need to be at school no later than 8:30am!

• If you are dropping your child at the pool in the morning, but they are walking back to school in the afternoon – please make sure they have the appropriate uniform and closed in shoes to wear for this trip.

• The pool canteen will be open for lunch and refreshments.

Kind regards
