Student achievements

Congratulations to Pippa Dodwell (Year 5), who competed at the NSW CIS Primary Swimming Championships on Thursday 24 March. Pippa competed in the 50m Backstroke, where she came fourth in the Backstroke Final. What an incredible achievement!

Well done to Beatrice Emanuel (3L) and Emily Snow (3R) who represented Bronte at the Sydney Branch Championships. Congratulations to Beatrice who won a bronze medal for the under 9s girls’ sprint. The two girls were recognised by their club at the end of season awards with Beatrice winning first place as the under 9s girls Club Champion and Emily coming in third place! A huge effort from both girls who were terrific all-rounders competing in flags, sprints, surf swims and boards throughout the season.
