Dear Parents,

On Friday 7th February 2025 we will be holding our School Swimming Carnival at Haileybury Pool, Keysborough (50m indoor). All students from Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be representing their Houses in either Jacaranda – Blue, Waratah – Red, Wattle – Gold or Eucalyptus – Green.  The children will leave school by bus at 9.00 am and return at approximately 3:00pm.

At the Swimming Carnival children can compete in a maximum of 4 events.

• Children can be in either a 25m or 50m freestyle (not both).
• Children can be in either a 25m or 50m backstroke (not both).
• Children can be in either a 25m or 50m breaststroke (not both).
• Children can be in 50m butterfly.
• Novelty Events will be run for those children who are not able to swim in any of the listed events.

A reminder note will be sent home early in the school year and please note that only children in Years 3-6 who swim in a 50m event will be considered for that event based on times for the St. Paul’s Swimming Team that will compete in the Bentleigh District at the Oakleigh Recreation Centre on Tuesday 25th Feb 2025.
