NSW CPS Swimming Carnival
Congratulations to our swimmers who competed at the NSW CPS Swimming Carnival in Sydney this week. Kash McPhillips, Zara Correy. Felicity Adams. Maggie Doust and Phoebe Newberry have been undergoing rigorous training before and after school to prepare for this event. A big thank you to these students' parents and families who have transported them to all their commitments to get them to this level.
There were PBs achieved by all the swimmers. Special mention to the Senior Girls Relay team who took 10 seconds off their time, 2nd in their heat and came in 12th! Also, Maggie came 1st in her 50m Breaststroke heat and 5th overall! Congratulations to these students. We are extremely proud of your efforts.

Last week Blake Kelly from Basketball NSW delivered clinics for our whole school. Despite the weather, he was able to adapt and still deliver some enjoyable drills for our students to brush up on their basketball skills. Thank you Blake for visiting our school.
