Year 6 Swimming Gala

The Physical Education Department would like to warmly invite students and parents to attend our Year 6 Swimming Gala at the DBIS Swimming Pool on Monday 21 October. The Gala will take place from 09:00-11:30am. Y6AH and Y6CD will swim from 09:00-10:15. Y6RM and Y6TW will follow from 10:15-11:30. Following each session, there will be a short presentation.

On the day, students should come to school at the usual time dressed in swimwear underneath their PE kit. They will also need to bring swimming goggles and their house swimming cap and two towels. We will ask the students to wear their PE top between races for sun protection and should also bring their sun hat and water bottle to the event. We will give the students priority for shade on the poolside. We strongly advise that students apply sunscreen before school and reapply between events. Therefore, a small bag for poolside items is recommended.

Parents are warmly invited to come along to spectate and support the students. Refreshments will be served throughout the event on Level 2 of the secondary building. There is limited shade in the spectator area so we advise you wear cool clothing, bring an umbrella and drinking water for poolside. It would be most helpful if you would bring shoes that can be removed easily to access poolside adhering to our health and hygiene regulations. We need to know attendance numbers in order to best schedule the event and optimise safety by managing the numbers of people on the poolside; please would you respond via this FORM to indicate how many people will be attending from your family to spectate.

In the event of inclement weather, we will have to suspend the event and do our best to complete it on another day. In this instance, a message will be displayed on the parent by 07:30am on Monday 21 October. In this instance, the school day will resume as normal.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
