Our school Swimming Carnival is being held at the Launceston Aquatic Centre on Thursday, 6^th March. The Swimming Carnival is a part of our school program and therefore, it is a requirement that all students attend on the day. There are many fun, non-competitive novelty events, the water slide, and traditional swimming events planned to allow students of all abilities and experience the opportunity to participate in the carnival.

Students are asked to make their own way to the Launceston Aquatic Centre by 8:35am.  Once at the Aquatic Centre, students are required to move directly to the pool area, via the back entrance, to meet with their Home Group teachers to have their attendance taken.

Students who normally travel to school on the Manion’s bus service from areas such as Legana, Bridgenorth, Gravelly Beach and Grindelwald, along with students who have no other way of making their own way to and from the Aquatic Centre themselves, will have the opportunity to catch a bus from Riverside High School to the Launceston Aquatic Centre in the morning and back again to the school at the end of the day.

Buses will leave Riverside High School at approximately 8:35am and return to school, leaving the Launceston Aquatic Centre at 2:40pm, to allow students to catch their normal school buses home at 3:10pm.

If you anticipate your child will need to catch the bus from school to the pool in the morning and/or from the pool to school again at the end of the day, please return a signed permission slip to the office by Friday, 28^th February.
