District Swimming

Over the last two weeks, we have had a number of students attend two interschool swimming events. On the last Friday of February and held at East Keilor Leisure Centre, 27 students from Year 4-6 represented NMPS at the Ascot Vale District Swimming event. All of our students swam incredible well on the day and should be very proud of their efforts, as we are! 

 

 

Thank you to the parents who helped and supported our team on the day. We were very excited to hear that we had a great result across the day, finishing in 2nd place in the big schools competition.

Damon also finished 3rd in both his individual events of breastroke and butterfly. Congratulations to all four of the boys and their efforts in not only represent NMPS, but our District also. Thank you to their families for transporting them to Oak Park Aquatic Centre on the day.
