District Swimming Carnival

On Monday 24th February, 29 students from Years 3 - 6 competed in the North Balwyn District Swimming Carnival at Boroondara Sports Complex. These students were selected for the team after the school trials were held earlier in the term.

It was great to see all of the schools in the District together, enjoying a lovely day and some healthy competition. Well done to all the students competing on the day!
