SWIMMING CARNIVAL INFORMATION

Swimming Carnival Information

On Wednesday the 6th of February, 2019, we will be holding our annual swimming carnival at the Casino Memorial Pool.

Students do not have to wear school uniform to the pool. Students are encouraged to dress up in their house colours!!

Students are NOT to wear body paint or to bring crepe paper (as it is difficult to clean up from the pool area and damages pool filters). Please note pool staff will refuse entry to those who don’t adhere to these instructions.

There are lots of non-competitive activities on the day so everyone can get in and have some fun.

Students MUST have covered footwear and appropriate clothing i.e. t-shirt and shorts/skirt.

Please bring a hat, sunscreen, plenty of water and wet weather gear (just in case).

The Pool Kiosk will be available on the day.

Listen to 2LM Radio Station between 7.00am and 8.00am, or check the school’s Facebook site for notice of cancellation.

If the swimming carnival is cancelled please bring your equipment for a normal Wednesday. Students MUST wear school uniform if the carnival is cancelled.

BUSES

Students please double check with your bus driver when you get off on Wednesday to make sure you know where they will be picking you up!

FOSCARS will drop off at the pool and pick up near Casino Public School

BENNETT’s will drop off at the pool and pick up at Casino Public School. Students must make their way immediately after 3pm so they do not miss their bus.

NORTHERN RIVERS BUSES will drop off at the pool and pick up at the Casino Public School. Students must make their way immediately after 3pm so they do not miss their bus.

CASINO BUS SERVICE – Students on town buses are to make their own way to the pool and home again as town buses will not be making an additional trip to the pool.

Looking forward to another Great Carnival!!! See you there

SUCCESS AT NATIONAL SLALOM CHAMPIONSHIPS

Over the summer holiday period Casey, Declan and Callie Ellis travelled to Eildon in

Victoria to represent Casino High School and NSW at the National Junior (All Schools)

Slalom Championships. Casey and Declan paired up to take silver in the U18 Men's C2

and joined Remy Taylor from Armidale, to gain silver in the C1 team event.

Callie produced some excellent individual performances to score gold in U14 Women's

K1 and silver in the U14 C1. Callie once again joined Ally Cork from Woolgoolga High

School to grab another silver in the U16 Women's C2.

This is a huge achievement and a wonderful reward for all their training and hard work.

Congratulations!!!

If you are interested in Canoe Slalom and would like to find our more about the sport

and any upcoming events, please contact Mark Ellis at Casino High School.
