Dear Parents /
Caregivers,
The Parnell District
Schools annual swimming sports will be open to Year 7-8 students who will be eligible to qualify, depending on
times for Eastern Zones Swimming Sports. With the help and support of family
and friends, this is always an exciting and rewarding event for our students.
This
year, on Tuesday 8th March,
all year 5-8 students are invited to enter the competitive swimming events. Competing students will leave school at 9.15am and be back at school
before 3.00pm. There will be a cost of $5 per student for
each of the venues to cover lane hireage and transport.
Please
note that these pools are outdoor and water temperature ranges between 21-25°C
weather dependent.
Please
encourage your children to enter the swimming competition if they are able to
confidently swim 50m unassisted. We are also offering an alternative to the 50m
events only for the year 7-8 students with 25m events to be swum at the Parnell
Baths. These students will walk to the baths, leaving school at 11.30am and
will return to school by 2:30pm for their afternoon lessons.
On the day, all students
will be involved in either the competitive (50m swimming races in the 25 meter Onehunga
War Memorial Pools.) OR the non-competitive (25m
swimming races at the Parnell Baths) events.
In order for the
students to really enjoy this day we need parents to help with the running of both
events. The more parents we have to help, the smoother the day runs and the
greater the benefits for all concerned.
Additional
information is attached, as are the entry and request forms to be completed.
These need to be returned to school by
3pm, Wednesday 24th February, to the letter box outside Room 23.
We will not be accepting any entries for the competitive events after this
time.
It will be a
fantastic day so please encourage your child to participate, and organise your
schedules to come along also.
Kind regards,
Valerie Marra
Sports Co ordinator
