Preparatory School Swimming Weeks 

Our Preparatory School Swimming Weeks are coming up in Weeks 4 and 5 of Term 4, providing students with an opportunity to develop their swimming skills, build confidence in the water and strengthen their understanding of water safety. 

Students are welcome to wear their PE uniform for the entire two weeks to make getting changed for swimming easier.

What to Bring Each Day 

Please ensure your child brings the following items: 

• Bathers (worn under their School uniform) 
• Goggles 
• Towel 
• Change of clothes 
• Thongs or Crocs 

Timetable

Important Dates 

Monday 2 November – Swimming Carnival Trials (Years 3–6) 

Students in Years 3–6 will participate in swimming trials to help determine selections for the upcoming Swimming Carnival. 

Friday 6 November – Water Safety Day (Years 3–6)

Students will take part in practical activities designed to develop essential water safety skills and awareness.

On this day, students will also need to bring an old set of lightweight clothing or pyjamas to wear in the water as part of their activities. 

Please ensure all belongings are clearly labelled, including towels, goggles and clothing. 

We look forward to two enjoyable weeks of swimming, skill development and water safety learning. 

Boots for Change Update 

Our Boots for Change initiative continues to grow, with more than 50 pairs of football boots now available in our Preparatory School boot room, ready for students to borrow when Winter Sport begins in 2027. 

Thanks to the generosity of our Westminster community, we have built a fantastic collection of boots ranging from size 12C through to size 9. 

As families prepare for the year ahead, we encourage you to consider donating any football boots that are no longer being used. Every donation helps ensure students have access to the equipment they need to participate confidently in their chosen sport. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported this wonderful initiative and helped make sport more accessible for our students.
