School Swimming Scheme

School Swimming Scheme 2008

It’s on again this year!

The Department of Education and Training School Swimming Scheme is an intensive learn to swim program which develops water confidence and provides students with basic skills in water safety and survival. The scheme is conducted over ten days.

Students who have not reached a satisfactory standard of water safety and survival skills, and are unable to swim 25m confidently unaided in deep water, are eligible to participate in the School Swimming Scheme.

120 places is being offered to students in Years 2 – 4. In early term 4, the remaining places will then be offered to students in Years 5 and 6.

Lessons will take place at Wentworthville Pools under the instruction of qualified teachers. The Scheme will continue daily for two weeks from Monday 27 October to Friday 7 November 2008.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students and parents for sending in their permission note and money.
There are still about 60 places available. Your are most welcome to send in the permission note and money by the end of term 3.
