SWIMMING

KSC SWIMMING SPORTS

One week into the academic year and our students were diving into action in the pool. The weather ensured many swimmers were wet before they got into the pool, however, that didn’t stop the competition, and with it warmer in the pool than out, many took to the water to try and qualify for the Interschool round or just to score points for their house!

The House Spirit gave a positive vibe to the atmosphere, along with DJ Bird (Ms Burdetts) beats. Howitt were ready with their own rendition of ‘Yellow Submarine’ and there were some great costumes making the rounds – a banana, fairies, Mario Bros. and lots more!

Teamwork and encouragement was shining through in the novelty events with many members of each House offering support to their peers as they worked together striving for more House points. Teachers even jumped in the action to try and boost their teams chances of winning the House Trophy.

House pride flowed into the relays with students getting into the water for their only swim of the day to ensure their House had a team.

Staff versus House Captains was the grand finale with the McDonald Captains proving too strong for the teachers team. A huge congratulations to Whitelaw and Strzelecki who also took the challenge to the teachers.

Once all the points were finalised, it was McDonald who took out the Female Category, Male Category and Overall Champion.

SOUTH GIPPSLAND DISTRICT SWIMMING

Sixteen competitors represented the college at SSV South Gippsland Division swimming on 5th March, and we finished 5th Overall for the day.

Well done to Gypsy Quaife for finishing runner up in the U14 female age group and Zac Sherar for finishing runner up in the U16 male age group.

A huge effort from many of our athletes who stepped in and swam additional races to represent the College. Some even swam a few age groups up to ensure that KSC was represented as best as possible on the day. Community spirit and our college values shone through in those students, and they are to be commended for their dedication and role modelling to one another.

STATE SWIMMING

An excellent achievement by Gypsy Quaife and Zac Sherar who represented Korumburra Secondary College at State Swimming.
