Swimming

Learning to swim is a most important part of a student's education. The Department of Education in conjunction with the school, conducts free Learn to Swim classes for 10 days at Oak Flats Pool each year.

Students from Yr 2 who cannot swim are taken by our teachers to the pool where they are taught by specially trained teachers.

The Department of Sport & Recreation also conducts "Learn to Swim" classes during the Christmas Vacation. Parents are notified when these are being conducted.

It is essential that all children learn to swim.

You are advised to take advantage of these classes.
