What this means
This document sets out uniform and clothing requirements for TOM NEWBY SCHOOL learners who do extra-mural swimming after school, including those attending swimming galas. It specifies which approved TNS PT kit items may be worn in place of regulation school uniform, what swimming gear must be brought (costume, cap, goggles, towel, flip flops), and where learners should change (pool cloakrooms). For gala participants, it also states that swimmers are dismissed 10 minutes before the final bell, that designated toilets will be available for changing, and that a Grade 7 councillor or staff member will supervise. It further lists gala uniform details for girls and boys and requires all clothing (including underwear) to be clearly marked with the child’s name.
