Our Grade 3-5 students have been working so hard at swimming over the last week and we started this week with a bang at Oceana where our students had to wear clothes in the pool.  The DOE Swimming Water Safety Program is an integral part of our children’s education and we have been so pleased to see great attendance at these sessions.  Our students have been learning how to float, retrieve things from the pool floor, signal for help when in trouble and learning how to push themselves through the water using specific strokes. We thank all parents for being organised with swimming this term and ensuring children are coming to school with their bathers and towel. 

My fellow staff and I have loved seeing the development in the pool of our learners and hope they can feel safe in aquatic environments in the summer months.  Check out some photos below of some fun at the pool.
