Safety Focused Swimming Lessons
Last week year’s 3/4/5 students attended swimming lessons at the Campbelltown ARC. The Department for Education program acknowledges that in the time available they cannot turn students into proficient swimmers they place a focus on teaching them the skills, knowledge & understandings to make good decisions around water and keep themselves and others safe.
This is a different emphasis to other “Learn to Swim” programs, children may access outside DfE and parents need to be aware of this and not rely solely on the department’s swimming lessons to build their child’s swimming skills.
The DfE swimming program is designed to maximise the benefit of the short time available for lessons and is based on the belief that “If this is the one opportunity to teach kids what they should do if they fall into open water, then give them the key skills they actually need to survive.” Therefore the program:
Book Week Assembly – Friday 23rd August Book Week Assembly will be in the gym on Friday 23rd August at 9:40 am. Come along and see every class present their special Book Week item to the school.

On Thursday 25th July, two teams of 8 boys and 8 girls went to the SAPSASA basketball carnival. Both teams did a great job! The boy’s team came 2nd and the girl’s team came 3rd. Both teams participated in 6 games, the boys won 5 and lost 1, the girls won 4, drew 1 and lost 1.
The great teamwork from both teams and the amount of effort put in from the boys and girls was outstanding.
We hope to see a lot of the year 5’s and 6’s come out next year and try for the basketball team. A special thanks to Katrina Ranford and Deb for coaching. Also thanks to the parents who helped by scoring and supporting our teams.
Good luck to all the teams next year!
