Swimming Lessons – Friday the 16th
Our final swimming lessons will be this Friday (the 16th) at the Feilding Makino Aquatic Centre.  The day is divided into 2 parts.
1.    All students will have water safety lessons. Group 1 and 2 will remain in the learners’ pool inside. Group 3 and 4 will be in the outside pool and dive pool. On arrival we will all put our gear where we usually put it for ease.
Could ALL students please bring clothes to use for this.
Students have learnt from past experience, that clothes such as ridgelines are not really suitable. Shorts, trousers, T shirts etc are fine.
2.  While at the pools we will have our end of year celebration. Students plan and pay for this from their ‘Bon Apiti’ student account. They have planned a shared BBQ for lunch, whanau group challenges, a small treat shop at the Makino Shop and time to enjoy the outside pools.
Students were hoping for venison, bacon or sausage sandwiches for lunch. If you would be happy to donate a little venison, bacon or sausages we would appreciate you sending it to school tomorrow. Many thanks.
Students will need to come prepared on Friday with morning tea, water bottle, sunscreen, sunhat and clothes for the water safety lesson. I would suggest the students who are doing their water safety outside apply sunscreen in the morning.
You are welcome to stay for the fun … or make the most of the time to do a little shopping!!

Please note that we will leave school at the earlier time of 10.45am, so we don’t have to rush.
The school bus will run at the normal times on these days.
Please remember that car-seats are required for some of your students, seat belts must be worn by drivers and all passengers and remember that the speed limit applies to all drivers.
