Skating and Swimming Timetable

A very busy week for us with both swimming and skating this week.

Tuesday:  Remember to wear warm skating clothes.  Children will have the opportunity at 10:30 to have a good snack before we leave school. We will bus to the rink at 10:40, have our skating lesson 11 - 12, have a snack, then our swimming lesson is at 12:30.  We bus back to school at 1:15.  It would be great to have some parents available to help with skates.

The cost for skating this year is: (please note that despite increasing costs these are the same as last year in response to schools concerns regarding increasing costs for families.)

• Entry & Skate hire $6  ($3 entry, $3 equipment hire skates and/or stones)
• Activity $2

 Our class costs are:

• 4 sessions plus bus to and from the rink $37

Those with rink concessions need to have their ticket sighted by the class teacher and the teacher then records the names on the daily payment sheet. Thanks for your co-operation with this requirement.  At this stage I have seen one ticket.

 All children are to wear appropriate warm clothing such as track pants, hats and jackets – no skirts. All students need to wear gloves at all times on the ice. Years 1 – 3 students must wear a helmet, bring your own or use those provided at the rink. St Gerards School encourages the use of helmets for everyone on the ice.

Hoping that those people who have been unwell are feeling fitter and will be able to enjoy their skating lessons with Andrew.  He can't wait to work with St Gerards again, as he remembers us as the school who look after each other and are there ready to listen and learn.
