Swimming Sports Permission and Entry form for year 5-6 students

Wednesday 10^th February,

Dear Parents / Caregivers,

The Parnell District Schools annual swimming sports will be open to Year 5-6 students who will be eligible to qualify, depending on times for Bay Suburbs 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 the transport to Onehunga War Memorial Pools.  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 25m unassisted.

In order for the students to really enjoy this day we need parents to help with the running of the 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 24^th February, to the silver box outside Year 5/6 Workroom. 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
