How to help:
Parent helpers are asked to meet us at the pool 5 minutes before the lesson is due to start We would love it if you could help students: Walk safely from the bus to the complex.
Ensure students are not walking too close to the water’s edge as they move around the complex
Assist with changing (as instructed by the teacher) This may just be verbal prompting to assist students to change quickly and to not lose any items, or helping younger students put on their shoes and socks.
