Students who have been successful at progressing to Division Swimming on the 5th of March have been notified, we are looking forward to another strong showing in our division!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the event! In particular the staff who were incredible in a variety of roles (and held their own in the pool!) and the house captains who put in a power of work delivering the out of water novelties and organising their competitors across the variety of events.
Our next major House event is House Cross Country on Friday the 8th of March can't wait to see the whole school in action once again!
