Dear Parents and Caregivers,

*Reminder Notice*

Tuesday 8th March

Our Junior Splash has been rescheduled for Tuesday 8th of March.

We kick off our Junior Splash at 1:30pm so don’t forget to bring the camera. Parking can

be tricky so do plan to be on time so you can get a space.

We will run a rotation of 5 events:

● Pool - Water Confidence and Fun

● Water Slide

● Water Targets

● Froggy Feet

● Water Obstacle Race

After our fun ‘Junior School Splash’ is over the children will go back to their rooms with

their teachers to get changed.

All children are asked to come to school in their school uniform and are asked to bring:

■ Named togs, towel and cap in a plastic or swimming bag. Goggles are optional.

Please apply sunscreen before your child arrives at school in the morning.

The children are getting excited about our Junior Splash and we look forward to seeing

you there.

Regards,

The HPS Junior School Team
