Saints Peter and Paul Swimming Carnival Tuesday 9th March
at the Tuggeranong Pool, at the corner of Anketell Street and Athllon Drive in Greenway
Thank you to all of the families of children in Years 2-6 that have gotten onto SZapp to complete the Consent, Medical, Event Nomination and Parent Assistance forms for our swimming carnival. If you are yet to do this, please ensure that all of this information is completed and submitted by Wednesday 3rd March. Thank you so much for your assistance with all of this.
We are excited to be welcoming parents as volunteers and spectators on the day. The Check in Canberra App QR code will be posted at the entry point to the pool. We will also have sign in and out sheets for you to use, so that we can have a school record of anyone in attendance on the day. The current restrictions in relation to numbers at the pool will be 500. I will let you know as soon as I can if this changes.
If you think your child may qualify for the South/Weston Region Swimming Carnival, please have a look at the information below.
South/Weston Region Swimming Carnival Thursday 25th March
at the Stromlo Leisure Centre, Corner of Uriarra Road and, Dave McInnes Rd, Stromlo.
All School Sport ACT regional swimming events are being held at the Stromlo Leisure Centre, as the AIS is currently unavailable for community meet bookings until the end of March. This is due to Tokyo Olympics preparations. If you have not been to this venue and would like to familiarise yourself with the space, please use the following link to do so https://www.stromloleisurecentre.com.au/
If your child is selected to represent our school at the regional carnival, they will receive information in relation to this soon after our school carnival. Please be aware that there will be a quick turnaround for bringing these notes back, (Wednesday 17th March) as nominations need to be submitted to the convening school for organisational purposes.
Unfortunately, due to the current COVID restrictions in relation to numbers at events, this year there will not be any regional 8 and 9 year old events and parents/spectators will not be permitted to attend any events or enter the pool deck area.
School Sport is hoping that there may be further easing of restrictions after the next government checkpoint on the 12th February. If this is the case the 8 and 9 year olds will be able to compete, and the attendance of spectators will be reviewed. Please rest assured that I will let you know as soon as I have any new information in relation to this.
