Senior Swimming Carnival News
SENIOR Interhouse Swimming Carnival – Years 3 – 6
Mark your calendars – the Dayboro State School Senior Swimming Carnival is exactly three weeks away!
Our carnival will be held during the day (9am – 2:30pm approx.) on Tuesday 23rd 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 2022. There is no cost for entry to the pool.
House points are given for winners in all levels of events – from swimming in a 25m event 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 range of novelty events will be organised by staff and House Captains on the day.
Last week, all students in Years 3 - 6 should have received their nomination form (on bright green paper) to choose their events for this carnival. This form also acts as a permission form for your child/ren to walk to and attend the pool on carnival day. Parents, please ensure that these forms are filled out (both sides) with all necessary details and returned intact to your child’s class teacher by this Friday 5th November so that work on the carnival program can begin.
Thank-you!
