2017 Swimming CarnivalOur first major sporting carnival for the year was a huge success. This year we were lucky to escape the extreme heat that the high school students endured the day after. All students participated with great enthusiasm and sportsmanship and it was so good to see lots of students getting in and having a go.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the cool off during the novelty ‘Salmon Run’ with Hall scoring a whopping 108 points. The end of the day was finished with the relays. I don’t know who was more excited to compete in the Senior Relay... the primary students, the high school students or the teachers and Mrs McNally!!!
Once again, a huge thank you to Mrs Amy Rumpler who organised our carnival and to the high school teachers and sports coaching students who year after year do a phenomenal job encouraging and looking after our students.
The Zone School team will be announced in the next newsletter. Please note qualifying times apply and your child will be issued with a permission note if they were successful in qualifying for this carnival.
