Year 2-6 Primary Swimming Carnival

You can preview the program here.

Parent / Spectator Seating Area

Parent / spectator seating is located on the balcony viewing area at the north end of the pool or behind the students in the 2nd tier of grandstand seating. Parents and spectators are not permitted to sit with students. Students must remain in their designated House seating area.

Parents / Spectators will be charged $3.50 per entry (16 Years and over).

On the Carnival Day

Students come to school in PE uniform with their swimmers on underneath. At the carnival, students may wear House coloured  clothing and accessories to enhance the atmosphere of the day. PE uniform must be worn correctly to and from school and students must arrive at school by 8.15am and attend Form.

Students will travel by chartered bus leaving SCEGGS at 8.30am. After the carnival, students will either return to school by chartered bus or can be collected by a parent /carer from the venue.

Written permission must be sent to your daughter’s classroom teacher if she is being collected from the pool after the carnival. 

Students taking the bus back to school will arrive in time for 3.10pm carline collection.

It is expected that students will stay for the entire Carnival.

The pool at Lane Cove Leisure Centre is an outdoor pool. While undercover seating is available, students must also take measures to stay sun-safe, including wearing t-shirts when not competing and hats when sitting in the stands. They are also expected to bring and apply sunscreen throughout the day. Students should wear their SCEGGS swim costume. They can also wear any other sun-protective swimwear for the day, such as a rash shirt. We ask that the students bring enough food and drink for the day.

Parents may sit behind the students’ seating area or on the balcony overlooking the pool’s finish line. While the canteen facilities are open to parents and spectators, we ask that no food or drinks are purchased for students.

Co-curricular Activities on Monday 18 November

Years 3-6 Monday swim squad will be cancelled on the morning of the carnival. All after-school sports activities will be on as usual; however, attendance is not compulsory. We do ask that you let the relevant Sports Coordinator know if your daughter is going to be absent from any after-school co-curricular activities, as per usual protocol.

IPSHA Selection

This year’s carnival will be used to select next year’s IPSHA Swimming Team. We encourage all students to get involved in all events and strive for their personal best! Any students who are absent on the day of the carnival and wish to trial for the IPSHA Swimming Team will be able to do so in early 2025. This date is yet to be confirmed.

We are looking forward to a beautiful day. In the case of inclement weather and the need to cancel the carnival, a decision will be made by 7.30am and communicated via Clipboard and the SCEGGS App.

For any questions, please reach out.
