 If you do not hold a season pass to the pool the cost will be $10 per child. A Compass event was sent out today to all NON Season Pass Holders. Could you please action this at your earliest convenience. 
Our amazing Community Council has generously offered to pay for all students lessons. We cannot thank them enough!
All students are encouraged to participate in this program.  Swimming is very much a part of the Australian lifestyle and a high level of swimming ability and knowledge and skill in water safety is not only highly desirable but could be life saving.

The program will run over five days, from Monday 25th of November to Friday 29th of November.  The program will meet the needs of the K – 6 PDHPE Syllabus and is under the control of L&R Group from the Holland Park Swim Centre and their qualified instructors.  Class teachers will attend to supervise.  The primary aim is to develop each child’s swimming ability.  The program will offer the following skill levels:

Students not attending the program will be supervised at school and set appropriate literacy learning activities.
