A little update on what is happening during the first week.

  Kia ora,   This year is starting a little different, with normal classes beginning on Thursday 4th.    On the 3rd we will be having a "meet the teacher day" - which is not compulsory.  It is a chance to visit School (anytime between 9am and 3pm) before formal classes start to introduce children to their new class and teacher, or just to pop by for a chat.   On Friday 5th we have School photos and we start our swimming sessions with JC Swim School. (Don't worry, I have arranged for us to have our photos taken before we leave.)   Swimming sessions begin Friday 5th and finish on Friday 19 th of February (NB: 10 Lessons).   Our time will be between 11:30 – 12:00.   We will be leaving at 11.00 am and aim to be back at School by 12.30 pm.   If you are able to assist by walking the children to and from the pool please let Shane know via email (shane@georgestreet.school.nz) any days that you are able to help.   Thank you in advance.

Swimming Lessons

  George Street Normal School Swimming Lessons  Dunedin North Intermediate Pool 2021     Once again we will have our swimming lessons taken by Jill Clarke and her team at the DNI pool.  Children who have had diarrhoea in the week prior to the lesson should not go in the water. Photographs can be taken, only with the permission/consent of parents and teachers poolside.  As an estimate, it takes about 15-20 minutes for the Senior children to walk quickly to the pool.   Sun hats are essential. Children are encouraged to bring their own goggles.   Friday 5th  February –  Friday 19th   February (NB: 10 Lessons) 11:30 – 12:00 Model  1A      Year 3/4/5/6  We will be leaving at 11.00 am and aim to be back at School by 12.30 pm. If you are able to assist by walking the children to and from the pool please let Shane know via email (shane@georgestreet.school.nz) any days that you are able to help. Nga mihi Shane
