Swimming Carnival
This Thursday 4th February, Year 3 to 6 students will participate in our Primary Swimming Carnival at Wauchope Memorial Olympic Pool. Students in Year 2, who turn 8 this year may also attend if they can competently swim 50m.
Students need to be nominated into their chosen events as a Competitive or Non-Competitive swimmer and permission given by 5:00pm this Monday 1st February. There can be no late registrations so be sure not to miss out. See the note that was emailed home (also available in the Notes Home This Week section of this newsletter) for more information and to complete your permission for your child to participate.
Please note there will be no canteen or lunch orders available on this day for students in Year 2 to 6 attending the carnival.
GYMNASTICS
The Term 1 Dance Fever Multisport Gymnastic program for Kinder - Year 6 will run on Thursdays for 7 weeks from Week 3 to Week 9. It is an exciting and essential area of our Sport program.
The structured Gymnastic program develops the progressive learning of skills in children of all abilities. Students will learn locomotor and non locomotor skills along with a variety of elements of movement which are aligned with the NSW PDHPE Syllabus.
We are grateful to have accepted a Sporting Schools grant which will subsidise this program, making the cost for each child $23.70 for the term. This amount has been billed to your student account and can be paid via eftpos, BPay or cash. Please make payment by Friday 12th March to enable us to meet our costs with our providers, Dance Fever Multisport.
