Swimming Team Success at the Northern Peninsula Division Carnival

Earlier this week, our Swimming team made the journey to YAWA Aquatic Centre in Rosebud to compete in the Northern Peninsula Division Swimming Carnival. The students were exceptional, achieving what is likely a record number of podium finishes throughout the day. There were numerous standout performances, with the highlight being our 10-year-old boys’ freestyle relay team, who set a new division record with a time of 3:02!

Congratulations to all students who participated, and good luck to those who have advanced to the Regional Finals, which will also be held at YAWA next Wednesday!
