Swimming Lessons 

Swimming lessons will commence next week (24/02/2025 to 28/02/2025) for Year 3 – Year 6 (excluding 4M). Prep – Year 2 (including 4M) will start in Week 8 (17/03/2025 to 21/03/2025). 4M has been added to the Prep – Year Two block so there are 10 classes in each block as 11 classes in one block will not work with times and swim instructors. Please see the timetable below for your child’s class time. 

Students will need to change into their swim attire at school and then change back into their school uniform when they return to school. Students are welcome to wear sports unform for the week of their swimming block. Students will need to bring a swim bag with them for the week containing towel, googles, crocs/thongs etc. and will need to take towels and goggles to lessons, and they are welcome to wear crocs or thongs to and from lessons and on the bus. They will receive a swimming cap from Glennie which will be colour coded to their swimming group. The lessons will be at Glennie Aquatics Centre. Parents are more than welcome to attend. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher. 

Fitness Club 

Fitness Club kicked off last week and is a fantastic opportunity for your child to boost their fitness while having fun with friends, all in preparation for the St Saviour’s Primary Cross Country in the last week of Term One. Open to students from Year Three to Year Six, these sessions are designed to be both enjoyable and beneficial. 

Sessions will be held every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 7:15am to 8am, continuing until Thursday, March 27th, 2025. Whether your child attends all sessions, once a week, or as often as fits your family’s schedule, they will benefit from the expert guidance of Mrs. McHugh, Mrs. Wagner, Mr. Logan, and myself. 

We aim to create a supportive and energetic environment where your child can thrive. If you have any questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to email me at Brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au. We look forward to seeing your child there!
