Prep - Year 2 Deputy Principal

Robertson State School's swimming program will be commencing shortly! This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to build confidence in the water, develop essential swimming skills, and have lots of fun in a safe and structured environment.

Swimming Schedule & Packing List:

Year 3 will begin swimming in Week 9 - 45 minute lessons
Year 2 will begin swimming in Week 10 - 45 minute lessons

To ensure students are well-prepared for their swimming sessions, we ask that all students come to school on their swimming day with the following items clearly labelled:

A large towel
Brightly coloured swimmers
A bright coloured swimming cap (this helps with visibility in the water)
Goggles (to protect their eyes and help them feel comfortable underwater)
Slip-on shoes (such as thongs or slides) to wear to and from the pool and on the bus
A spare pair of underwear for after swimming

We recommend packing all items in a waterproof bag to keep things organised and dry.

Safety First

As part of our commitment to student safety, we kindly ask that parents take a moment to speak with their children about safe behaviour on the bus and around the pool area. Reinforcing the importance of listening to staff, walking carefully near the pool, and following instructions helps create a safe and positive experience for everyone involved.

We thank you for your support in preparing your child for this exciting program. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the front office.
