Swimming Sports Update

School Trials…. February 16th

A big thank you to the huge interest and effort of the 44 students from Grades 3 to 6, who came along to our school trials. From this event, 39 students were selected to represent Altona Green in the swimming competition that followed.

Laverton District Schools Carnival….March 2nd

What a fantastic day of swimming competition held at Werribee Pool. Altona Green had 39 eager and energetic students ready to swim in both individual and team events over the course of the day.

Today we had many students achieve the title of ‘top 5 performers’ for their age group, in many of the individual swimming strokes, including Eloise R, Zoey M, Josslyn J, Maddy De V, Eve R and Isabel M.

Other students advanced to the division level after coming 1st or 2nd in their race, including Connor S, Harriet C and Bobbie W.

Also, 3 of our relay teams (11 girls, 11 boys and 10 girls) qualified to proceed to the next level. A big thank you to every competitor for doing their role on the day. Special mention to Georgia A, Jensen W, Charlotte M, Ye Wan B and Willow E for their input.

Many thanks to Eve R and Kingston P from Grade 6 for having a go at the ‘50m Freestyle Open Challenge’ event.

It was amazing to have so many parents come along to support the students and cheer them on throughout the whole day. Much appreciated! And lastly to the wonderful AGPS staff, Zach and Tamara, for looking after the troops all day ensuring no one missed an event.

Hobsons Bay Division Swimming Carnival…..March 14th

A wonderful effort by our students today when competing against winners from other district carnivals held around the Hobsons Bay area. Congratulations to Harriet C who triumphed in the Butterfly event and now proceeds to Western Region Competition.

Thanks to everyone involved for a whole school team effort!
