District Swimming
On Wednesday, 25 students made their way to the District Swimming competition to represent our school. They showed great enthusiasm and determination as they competed in their events, doing their very best in the pool. All of the students demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and supported one another throughout the day.
We are incredibly proud to announce that eleven students have qualified for the next level of District competition. This is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of their hard work and dedication to training.
