During Week 7 students in Reception - Years 4 will be attending swimming lessons at the Noarlunga Aquatic and Recreation Centre. These lessons are part of the Education Department Swimming and Aquatics program which provides swimming and water safety lessons to all students in Government primary schools.

Year 3- Year 4 students are entitled to 7.5 hours per year of free swimming instruction, equating to 5 x 90 minute lessons.

Please note that the swimming instruction provided by the Education Department Swimming and Aquatics program is free. The fees cover the cost of transport of students to and from the Noarlunga Aquatic and Recreation Centre and the pool entry fees.

Swimming fees must be paid in full prior to the program commencing. The total cost of the program for 2021 is $40.00 per student and is payable by Monday, 15 November.  

You must complete the paper water safety consent form for Swimming as this form must be given to the Noarlunga Aquatic and Recreation Centre.

As swimming and water safety are included as part of the Australian Curriculum, all students are required to participate. If for financial reasons this timeline proves difficult, please speak to Helen, the Finance Officer as soon as possible to arrange a payment plan.

Please ensure all Health Care Plans are up to date and that medications are within their use-by date. Students will take their school-based medications with them to the Noarlunga Aquatic and Recreation Centre. Failure to have a valid Health Care Plan signed by a doctor and appropriate medication could result in your child not being able to undertake the swimming program.
