What to Bring
Students competing at the Interschool carnival, MUST wear St Dominic’s School bathers. Not wearing the correct school bathers may result in your child not being able to compete on the day. Any last minute purchases can be made via the uniform shop. A swim cap will be provided to students on the day if they haven’t purchased one of the new school caps. A bus will transport the team to HBF stadium and will leave school at 8.20am, to allow time for a warm-up in the competition pool before the carnival commences. Students MUST wear the correct sports uniform (grey and white top) over their bathers, and should pack goggles, towel, water bottle and lunch box. Please note that as students are representing St Dominic’s, they should not be wearing alternate clothing on the day. The cafe at HBF stadium is out of bounds to all students on that day and therefore there will be no opportunity for students to buy food at the carnival. Please ensure your child has enough healthy food to get them through a busy day of swimming. We ask that parents do not bring food over from the cafe during the day, you may wish to save this as a treat for after the carnival. We also ask that students do not share food, so please do not send packets of lollies to share on the day.
Parent Helpers
On the day of the carnival, I will require some parents to check students toilet passes and to ensure students are going to the toilet in pairs. If you can help, please fill out the form below.
