Learn to Swim Program
The 2016 learn to swim program is underway. Thank you to all those wonderful parents who have attended lessons and are assisting with the changing of their own and other children. The group sizes have increased this year and we do require extra support to allow for a smooth running of the program. The original timetable was revised slightly after the first week due to some timing and traffic issues. The new timetable was sent out via compass on Tuesday 26 August. If you have any questions regarding the program please speak to Geoff McShane. If you are able to volunteer and assist with the program at any stage please speak to your child’s classroom teacher.
