Learn to Swim (Kinder, Years 1, 2 and 3)
Following on from the success of last year’s Learn to Swim program, this year students in Kinder, Years 1, 2 and 3 will have the opportunity to participate in a Learn to Swim Program in Term 4 from the 25th November - 5th December. This year the Learn to Swim program will be held at the Mittagong Swimming centre. The Learn to Swim program is a necessary life skill for all students. It was quite noticeable at this year’s swimming carnival, that the Learn to Swim program held last year was of great benefit to students not only from increased student participation but also with the confidence shown by students across the swimming events.

We estimate the cost to families per child for the 9 day intensive program to be approximately $85. 

More details for Learn to Swim will be provided next term.

Surf Education Program (Years 4, 5 and 6) 
Next term, years 4 to 6 will participate in a Surf Skills and Education program. The State Funded Water safety program is made up of two parts, an input session here at school outlining surf safety and this is followed up with a practical session at Sandon Beach in Wollongong. We have chosen to participate in this program as it has educational value especially leading into the summer vacation.

The practical session is a 3hr Surf Skills & Education program which caters for all swimming abilities and has been designed for Stage 2 & 3 students.  Students do not need any prior experience or swimming qualifications, and the courses cater for all fitness levels. All students are expected be able to participate equally.

We estimate the cost to families per child for Surf Education Program to be approximately $25. More details regarding the Surf Life Education program will be provided next term.
