Secondary Inter-House Swimming Carnival
Friday 13 March, 9.30am – 2.30pm
Drummoyne Swim Centre
Travel Arrangements
All girls must come to school (by 8.15am) in correct sports uniform and travel on the buses to the Carnival.
Girls are NOT permitted to make their own way to the pool in the morning.
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 approximately 2.30pm. All girls will travel back to school on the buses unless a written permission note has been given to the Form Teacher. If parents are present at the Carnival, students may be dismissed at the conclusion of the Carnival, after consulting their Form Teacher.
Uniform
Girls must wear correct sports uniform to and from school on the day of the Carnival. They may change into other decorative House attire at school or at the pool. No girl is to travel to or from school in any clothing other than correct sports uniform.
A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen 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 are only permitted to swim in the SCEGGS swimming costume or approved race suit, and House swimming cap (available from the School Shop).
Lunch and refreshments
There will be no canteen facilities available. All girls must bring enough food and drink for the day. This includes plenty of water!
Parents and spectators
There is an entry fee of $4.00 for parents and other spectators. Parents are advised to bring a fold‐up chair.
General
Mobile phones, Tablet PCs and chewing gum must NOT be brought to the carnival.
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.
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, unsafe or disruptive behaviour. The wading pool is out of bounds.
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 5 lessons in the event the Carnival does not proceed.
Please Note:
On the morning or afternoon of the Swimming Carnival, there will be NO Secondary co‐curricular activities.
International Women’s Day Run – # Unity in the Community
SCEGGS kicked off International Women’s Day with a fun run in Centennial Park last Friday. A crowd of girls, staff, parents and even the family dogs participated in a fun run around the park before an early morning “purple” muffin for breakfast. Thank you to Ms Thompson and our Cross-Country Captains Laura Roderick and Amelia Board for organising the morning which was enjoyed by everyone.
Touch
On Saturday morning our touch teams got into the spirit also as they played their final rounds of touch before the semi finals and playoffs this week.
Please check Cognito for all Touch semi-finals and play-offs for this weekend.
