Swimming
It’s that time of year again, with the sun shining and the warm temperatures. We run swimming lessons 3 times per week, with a syndicate swim on Friday and lunchtime free swims most days (weather dependent).
If your child is unable to swim they must have a valid reason (accident or illness) and this be communicated by email or note to the class teacher with the period of time they are exempt for.
Things to remember:
Students are encouraged to bring their togs and swim as this is part of our Te Rapa School Physical Education Programme.
Swimming and water safety is a compulsory part of student education in NZ.
If children have been sick or have open sores they are not to enter the water until they are better.
All bandages and plasters that will come off in water are not to enter the pool.
Students need togs (girls one piece and boys swimming material shorts), a towel, a warm sweatshirt for after their swim, goggles (optional), a swimming cap (optional), sun block, sun hat.
Sun Smart
With the Summer weather in full effect, please encourage your child to bring a hat to school to wear outside during playtime and lunchtime to ensure they are Sun Smart! There is sunblock available for students to reapply when they need to during the day.
