This Friday 12 February is the Toorak Primary School House Swimming Carnival. Students will be walking to and from the pool. They will need to wear their bathers and bring with them their towel, hat, suncream/zinc, snack and lunch, drink bottle and a change of clothes. Please make sure that EVERYTHING is clearly named. Students may wear house colours on the day but please make sure that they are sun smart (eg. covered shoulders). Please refrain from using coloured hairspray and face paint as it discolours the pool. Coloured zinc is OK.
If you are able to help out on the day then please let your child’s classroom teacher, or Mr Holden, know ASAP. We will need the most help walking the students to and from the pool but any time you can help out during the day will be greatly appreciated.
Below is an outline of the events for the day. Please note that times may vary depending on how long each race takes to run. Each event will run from youngest age group to oldest (8 year olds, 9/10 year olds, 11 year olds, 12/13 year olds).
