St Saviour's Primary Swimming Carnival 2022
St Saviour’s Primary Swimming Carnival will be on the 29th of March from 9.00 am to 12.00 pm at Glennie Aquatic Centre. All students in Year Three to Year Six will participate in this carnival. I will be visiting your child/ren classrooms in the coming weeks to get nominations. Please make sure you talk to your child about what you feel they are confident in swimming. Your child can choose to either swim in 50m or 25m events (not both) in all four strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly). I will also be offering a kick board event for less confident swimmers. Students will catch a bus from St Saviour’s to Glennie at 8.40am and return to school after the carnival. Children can then be picked up at the normal time of 3pm. Please make sure your child/ren bring 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. 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. A permission form will be sent out via Parent Portal and will include attachments with more information about the carnival including COVID-19 restrictions. If you have any questions regarding the swimming carnival feel free to contact me at brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.
Zone and Darling Downs Trials
All Zone and Darling Downs trials will be placed on Parent Portal. Please check Parent Portal regularly or set up notifications on your phone if you wish for your child to be eligible to trial for Zone and Darling Downs sporting teams as you will be required to obtain paperwork from myself. I am unable to nominate students after the closing date so please make sure you do keep an eye on Parent Portal. Any questions, please contact me at brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.
