A letter is going home this week providing information for our end of year Celebration Day to New Norfolk pool on Tuesday 14 December.  Swimming permission forms are being sent home with students in Prep - Grades 2 and 6 and will need to be returned to school at your earliest convenience.  If your child does not return their form they will be unable to attend on the day.

A copy of the letter is provided below:

Permission Form:

Please complete the attached consent forms for your child to attend the New Norfolk Pool, including the medical information form.  These forms must be returned to school as soon as possible to enable your child to attend.  If the forms are not received your child will be unable to go to the pool.  (Students in grades 3-5 have already completed their permission forms, due to the learn to swim program).

Any medication required by students must be given to the class teacher.  It should be clearly labelled and inside a plastic zip-lock bag.
