Tuesday 3^rd June

Dear Parent/Carer,

To begin our K/P/1 Water Safety program for the year, K/P/1 students will be given the opportunity to participate in Learn to Swim sessions at the Oatlands Aquatic Centre on the following dates:

• Friday 20^th June 2025
• Thursday 14^th August 2025

This will coincide with future Learn to Swim sessions that will be held at the Grove’s Pool in Term 4, 2025 for the K/P/1 class. On these two occasions, the bus will leave at approximately 9:00am and return by 2:45pm.

Swimming is a vital skill and as our students live on the Coast, we wish to prioritise Learn to Swim and provide all students with as many aquatic opportunities as possible. Melissa Quinn and Dilys Fyle will be co-ordinating the sessions. Lifeguards will also be onsite at the centre, and Kate Pearce will be the supervising teacher.

Students are required to bring:

• Packed morning tea and lunch
• Drink bottle
• Full school uniform
• Warm jacket
• 2 towels (one is sure to get wet)
• Bathers
• Goggles – optional
• Please note that the school will provide students with a swimming cap for the day

Students are required to follow school behavioural expectations in the lead up to, and on the day of the event. If you have any questions regarding the day, please contact me through the school office. This activity requires Aquatic Activity and Major Excursion permission forms to be returned to the school, please sign and return the attached form to the office.

Kind regards,

Anna Knowles
Principal
