Pool closure details
Hopefully you are warm and dry and haven't been washed away by all the rain!
 
Most of you probably know by now, the school will be closing the pool on Friday for draining, sandblasting and repainting. It is expected to take 4 weeks leaving one week of term before the school holidays.  We have also had to move the Wednesday 3.30 running sessions to Friday at 3.15pm
 
Whilst this is great news for the pool it means we have had to make alternative arrangements. 
 
Learn to Swim - Learn to Swim will close until Term 3.  Last week I tried to see as many as you as I could (and apologies if you receive this email more than once) and have offered you three options.  Would you like to :
 
a) transfer the balance to term three (an invoice will follow for the remaining five weeks) and keep the same timeslot in term 3,  
 
b) transfer the balance to term four (an invoice will follow for the remaining five weeks).  You will be contacted in term 3 (before sign on day) for a new booking time, or
 
c) receive a refund  
 
Squad - Squad will reopen as soon as the work has finished.  But in the meantime Dan has managed to secure some pool time at the Valley Pool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings 5.30 to 7am.  All term passes and 10 swim passes will be suspended and payment for these sessions at the Valley Pool can be paid at the time of the session (please see Dan for prices).  If you have purchased a term pass, please let me know if you would like to
 
a) transfer 'x' amount of weeks (or the full 5 weeks ) to term three (an invoice will follow for the remaining weeks)
 
b) transfer 'x' amount of weeks (or the full 5 weeks) to term four (an invoice will follow for the remaining weeks)
 
c) receive a refund
 
If you have purchased a 10 swim ticket, you can start using that when the pool reopens.  Of course you can still use your ticket at the Friday running session.
 
I will be at the pool today and tomorrow from 3 to 4.30 to answer any questions you may have. 

Please email me and let me know what you would like to happen with your fees.

Thank you so much for your patience while the work is carried out and we'll see you swimming again with us in our beautiful pool in term 3.

Ben Hewitt (School Vice Captain 2004) & brother of Lachlan Yr5, won a Gold Medal at the recent U17 Queensland School Sport Water Polo State Championships as a member of the Metropolitan North team. He was voted the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.  He made himself unavailable for selection in the Queensland team to contest at the national level due to Year 12 study commitments.
