Swimming
We are nearly there! Week 4 will see our pool finally open!
Firstly - a MASSIVE thanks to you, our community, for the support - without you we would not have our school pool! As you all know, swimming is a critical part of the New Zealand school curriculum. In an island nation with amazing beaches and rivers, having swimming skills and confidence is crucial.
It has been quite a process over the "summer", getting the pool ready. The weather certainly put a hold on things. With the final step having been completed this week, we will be filling and balancing next week, ready for the swim season to start Monday, 20 February.
Please remember to send you child to school with named swimsuit and towel, preferably in a water proof bag.
