Secondary Inter-House Swimming Carnival

Please find the link to the program for Wednesday.

Travel Arrangements

All girls must come to school (8.15am) in correct sports uniform and travel on the buses to the Carnival.

Girls are to go to their Form room and wait for instructions to move to the buses. Form Teachers will travel on the bus with their class.

The Carnival will finish at 2.30pm. All girls will travel back to school on the buses unless a written permission note has been given to their Form Teacher. Students may be dismissed at the conclusion of the Carnival, after consulting their Form Teacher. Parents should collect students from Little St near the Pottery Green Oval parking area.

Uniform

Girls must wear correct sports uniform to and from the Carnival. They may change into other decorative House attire once at school, before Form time. No girl is to travel to or from school in any clothing other than their correct sports uniform.

A school hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a school jumper or tracksuit must also be brought to the Carnival. If it is particularly hot, we would also strongly recommend a light long sleeve top for further sun protection when not swimming.

Girls should swim in the SCEGGS swimming costume or approved race suit, and Swimming cap.

Lunch and refreshments

There will be no canteen facilities available. All girls must bring enough food and drink for the day.

Parents and spectators

Spectators will be permitted at the Carnival in the upstairs café platform.

General Information

There are to be no mobile phones, laptops, chewing gum or face paint (coloured zinc for sun safety is permitted).

Girls are to move to their allocated House area when they arrive at the pool.

Attendance at the Carnival is compulsory. Girls unable to attend on the day are required to submit an explanatory note to their Form Teacher and a student absence must be completed  via the SCEGGS App.

The most important contribution on the day is each girl’s support of her House.

Girls must adhere to the pool rules – no running, pushing, bombing, hanging on lane ropes, unsafe or disruptive behaviour.

Wet Weather

Be fully prepared for wet weather – bring umbrella and/or raincoat.

In the case of extremely wet weather or thunderstorm/lightning, a decision will be made at school on the morning of the Carnival. All girls should have some basic equipment with them (eg some paper and their pencil case) to participate in Day 8 lessons in the event the Carnival does not proceed.

Please Note

On the morning and afternoon of the Swimming Carnival, there will be NO Secondary Sporting co-curricular activities (with the exception of gymnastics which is optional). There will be some matches for Sydney Indoor Hockey in the afternoon/evening.

The CVE Choir will still rehearse before school but there will not be rehearsals for Amati Strings nor Holst Wind Ensemble.
