St Saviour's Primary Swimming Carnival 2020

St Saviour’s Primary Swimming Carnival will be on the 4th of February 2020 from 9am to 12:30pm at Glennie Aquatic Centre. Children born in 2011 (turning 9 this year) to children born 2008 (turning 12 this year) will participate in the carnival. Students will catch a bus from St Saviour’s to Glennie at 8.40am and return back to school after the carnival. Children can then be picked up at the normal time of 3pm. Parents and Guardians are more than welcome to attend. Please make sure your child brings togs, towel, goggles, swimming cap, swimming bag and food. All items are to be labelled. A house coloured swimming cap is available for purchase from the school office for $5. Six dollars will be added to your child’s school fees for all children who attend the carnival in years 3-6. This is to cover the cost of the bus and the hire of the pool and lifeguard. The children can wear coloured shirts to support their individual house. If they choose not to do this, they can wear their sport uniform. Thongs are fine to wear to and from the pool. Please, no zinc, face paint or hairspray as it is not allowed in the pool. If you have not done so already, please give your child permission to attend the swimming carnival by logging into Care Monkey. If you have any questions in regards to the swimming carnival feel free to contact me at brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.

Our children gathered on the oval today in their House colours to practice their war cries in preparation for the Swimming Carnival on Tuesday.
