School Excursions and Medication

Swimming

Swimming is an exciting part of our physical education curriculum, and while it is compulsory to participate, we encourage everyone to embrace this opportunity to develop new skills and have fun!

Our Year 3 and 4's are going swimming in Week 10.

If your child suffers from eczema which gets worsened by swimming, please talk to the teacher or to the school nurse who would be able to help you to come up with a care plan to help the child to enjoy swimming.

As per the swimming center policy, you must not swim for 2 weeks after gastro symptoms have ceased.

Camp

The Year 6s are going on their camp in Week 2 of Term 2 from Wednesday 7^th May 2025 to 9^th May 2025. 

• As usual the school will pack the medication that has already been provided to the school.
• If your child needs any medication that needs to be administered during the event, please make arrangements to prepare the medication along with a management plan or medication authority signed by a doctor.
• If you still haven’t provided the medication and the doctor's letter to the school, please make sure to send the medication ASAP as this may affect your child’s ability to attend camp.
• If your child is not feeling well, please keep the child at home and notify the school.

If you have any concerns about swimming or camp, please contact the school at 82 83 00 00, and we'll direct your queries to the appropriate personnel.

Camp was awesome. It was really fun. My favourite activity was laser skirmish because it was outside and you got to run behind wooden boards. Tube sliding was another great activity because you got to slide down a big hill on tubes and get sprayed with water. I was proud of myself for getting across the rope swing with water underneath. The labyrinth maze was really fun because we got to do it in the dark and me and Elouise were one of the first students out. Overall, I loved Year 5 camp and I can’t wait for Year six camp next year.

Our Year five camp was amazing. I love the rope swing. I fell in the water, but it was still so much fun and cold. Another favorite activity was the tube slides. It was fun going down the slide with all my friends and teachers. Laser skirmish was definitely my favourite because I got to shoot everyone and it was the only time I get to shoot the teachers. The food was yummy especially the lasagne that was delicious with the yummy cheese on top. We wish camp would just go for longer. It was so much fun.
