LMR Swimming

Charlton College had two students represent the school at the LMR Swimming Championships held in Swan Hill on Tuesday. Congratulations to Stella N and Heidi S for their outstanding performances and achievements. Well done to Stella for making it to the championships and competing at such a high level. Her hard work and dedication in training over the summer and throughout the school year have clearly paid off. It’s a huge effort to reach this level, and Stella’s performance is a great reflection of her commitment to improving and pushing herself! Heidi finished with two 2nd place finishes in Freestyle and Breaststroke, as well as three 3rd place finishes in Butterfly, Backstroke, and the Individual Medley. Again, this is a remarkable achievement and a testament to her hard work and dedication. The College is incredibly proud to have both Heidi and Stella as representatives.

On the 6th of March, Charlton College students took part in the NCD Triathlon in Boort. All students competed to the best of their ability, demonstrating great determination. A special congratulations to Heidi S for winning the Intermediate Girls Division. Well done to all participants for their hard work and commitment!
