Swimming

Swimming lessons every Tuesday.

At Glenview, we think it is important for all the children to learn to be safe and confident in the water and to learn to swim. In New Zealand most people spend a lot of time in the summer in and around the sea, rivers or swimming pools.

Swimming is very good exercise. It helps to keep the children fit and well and builds their muscles. Even children who have asthma are advised to swim whenever they can because it helps with their breathing. Swimming does not result in as many knocks, sprains, cuts or broken bones as other sports. It is especially good for children during the winter.

We have a very good swimming pool at Cannons Creek. It is near enough to school for all the children to walk there and back every week. Inside the pool building, the air and water are warm. There are nice warm showers and clean changing rooms. The children will be fine as long as they dry themselves well and wear warm clothes to go to and fro.

Our teachers are all trained by Swimming New Zealand, just like the teachers who take private swimming lessons. The children get very good lessons and you don’t have to pay extra for them.

Lunch Orders

Your child’s learning and well-being is important to everyone at Glenview. Together, we can help them get a head start by making healthy choices for lunch.

We get our lunch orders from the Porirua College Café. They offer delicious healthy food at a reasonable price! The following food will be available on these days.
