Swimming Carnival

Last Tuesday we had over 70 students compete at the school swimming carnival. It was a drizzly day, however, all students were outstanding in their participation as well as sportsmanship. 

Congratulations go to Flynn Anthony-Gould who broke 2 x school records in both the 50m & 100m Breastroke. 

I would also like to thank the Year 11 SLR class helpers and parents who assisted on the day of the carnival. 

Age Champions and the Champion House will be presented at the assembly on Monday (27th Feb).

Congratulations to Grace Pomery who competed in the 4km World Championship Cross Country Challenge in Bathurst last weekend. The course around sections of Mt Panorama was grueling with sand sections, a mud pit, tyre weaving, and plenty of hills. She was the 10th female to cross the line in the U20 field.
