Dear Parents and Caregivers

We are all looking forward to the opportunity of showing you how we are progressing
with our swimming this year.

Kawaka Syndicate yr 3 and 4 swimmers who swim at the town pool but did
not enter the school competitive swimming sports, will be having their own
swimming sports day. This will be held on Tuesday 27 February starting 12pm,
at the town pool. Postponement will be Thursday 1 March.

Please note this is the same day as winter sport sign ups so your child will
have a chance to sign up in room 9 on Wednesday 28 Feb.

Events will include: Lengths - freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, flutterboard length
-competitive and noncompetitive.

Widths - freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke,

Novelty - flutterboard, walking race, t-shirt relays.

While the students will be racing against their peers in their swimming group and
receiving places which go toward house points, this is designed to be a fun day
where they attempt to show you their best swimming.

We would love to have as many of you there as possible, to cheer your children on.

Those who swam in the school competitive sports have had their chance to shine,
so will join us but will only be taking part in the novelty 1 length flutterboard,
1 length freestyle and T-shirt relay.

Tuesday’s event is about giving a different group of students the chance to shine.
For some of them it will be only the second or third time they have completed a
length in a particular stroke, so we encourage you to cheer all students on as they
accomplish new goals during our “non competitive” sports day. We would love to have as
many parents support us as possible. It is always nice for the students to have an audience.

We estimate that we will finish swimming around 1:30 pm.
You are invited to join us for lunch in the park afterwards if you wish.
Please ensure your child has togs and towel, shoes to walk down in, a sunhat, sunblock,
large drink of water and a packed lunch with snacks for the day.
Ordered school lunch will not be available for these students on this day.
Children may leave with their parents afterwards but please let their teacher know.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Regards
