SENIOR Interhouse Swimming Carnival – Years 3 – 6

Mark your calendars – the Dayboro State School Senior Swimming Carnival is exactly four weeks away!  

Our carnival will be held during the day (9am – 2:30pm approx.) on Tuesday 26^th November at the Dayboro Pool.  We cater for most levels of swimming ability, aim to encourage participation and enjoyment for all students, and provide a higher level of competition for those students who are eligible to be considered for District Nomination in 2020.

We are very pleased to say that there will be no cost for entry to the pool – this includes participants and spectators.

House points and ribbons are given for winners in all levels of events – from swimming the width of the pool right through to the more gruelling 100m event.  This gives all children the chance to participate at their own level of ability – while also contributing hard earned points to the Armstrong, Rush and Terrors Houses.  ‘Age Champion’ medallions are given out to the boy and girl in the 9, 10, 11 and 12 age groups who accumulate the highest amount of points from 50m events.  Encouragement awards will be given to our youngest swimmers – the 8 year olds.  As usual, a wide range of novelty events will be organised by staff and House Captains on the day.

Today, all students in Years 3 - 6 should have received their nomination form (on bright orange paper) to choose their events for this carnival.  Parents, please ensure that nomination forms are filled out with all necessary details and returned intact to your child’s class teacher by Friday 8^th November so that work on the carnival program can begin. 

Thank-you!
