COLLECTION FROM SWIMMING TRAINING

URGENT! COLLECTION FROM SWIMMING TRAINING

The Chisholm school bus will NOT be available for the final two training sessions next week.

As a result, we will require parents to pick up their child from Chisholm pool and drive them back to St Columba’s on completion of the session. Training finishes at 8am. Parents are welcome to stay for the session but, as parking is at a premium, must park on the far side of the oval. It may be practical to arrange car-pooling.

Please read the attached document.
