Swimming
Congratulations to Chloe James who competed at the Greater Western Swimming Championships at the start of this month. Chloe had a great day in Horsham coming home with 2 new personal best times in Breaststroke and Butterfly. She placed 6th in the Butterfly and 13th in the Breaststroke across the whole region. Congratulations again Chloe.
Athletics
Last week we held our school athletics trials. It was great to see parents and families attend the day at Central Reserve. What was even greater to see was the students' enthusiasm and ability to have a go on the day. A St Mary’s team has now been selected from the day to represent the school in the Colac Divisional Athletics next Thursday. We wish all those involved the best of luck.
