House and interschool competitions
Swimming Sports report
On Wednesday 2 March the MGSC swimming carnival occurred, the entire school attended Oakleigh Recreation pool covered from head to toe in their house colours to support their respective house.
The day had so much to offer with races in the pool, spike ball on the grass, teacher vs student relay and even superman diving off the diving board. All of these events gave everyone the opportunity to get relief from the heat and get into the water to earn some house points.
Some stand out achievements from the day included:
- Mia Schroen in year 12 creating a new record by 0.10 sec for Open 50m Butterfly
- Amelia Bennett in year 8 creating a new record by 0.48 sec for 14 year old 50m Butterfly
- Matilda Waugh in year 9 creating a new record by 2.73 min for 15 year old 50m Butterfly
- 15 year old 4 x 50m freestyle relay team broke a record by 2.02 min
Congratulations to all students involved – it was so pleasing to see so many smiling faces soaking up the atmosphere.
Thank you to Ms Ilana Parker for once again organising another amazing swimming carnival and all teachers involvement on the day.
