Swim School

The School Swimming Scheme is an extremely worthwhile program organised by the Department of Education for students in Government schools to learn water safety and basic swimming skills.  All students in Years 1 and 2 will be participating in the School Swimming Scheme from Monday 1 April to Friday 12 April.  Each school day in this period, the students will walk to and from Birrong Leisure Centre under the diligent supervision of their teachers to participate in swimming and water safety lessons led by trained swimming teachers.

The water safety and swimming lessons will take place from approximately 11:45am to 1:30pm.  The students will be undertaking their normal school studies and activities before and after the swimming lessons. 

The children need to wear their swimming costume under their school uniform in the morning for ease of changing for their lesson.  They will also need to bring a towel and underwear to change into after their lesson.
