Years 2-6 Swimming Carnival

What a fantastic carnival we had on Monday for our Term 4 Primary Swimming Carnival. It was an amazing day (albeit quite windy at times) at Lane Cove Leisure Centre.

Well done to all the girls who participated in the day across various events. A huge congratulations to the Year 2 girls who joined us for the first time and got so involved in the day.

A special congratulations goes to Pippa Dodwell (10 Years) and Emilia Laban (8 Years), who broke records on the day.

End of Year Sport

A reminder that there will be no sports activities running next week, being the last week of school.

On behalf of our coaches and staff, we want to take the time to thank all students (and families) who have been so involved with activities throughout the year. From Monday Morning Swim Squads to Gymnastics till dinner time through the middle of the week to Saturday sports, it has been incredible watching so many girls participate in various activities over the year. 

Please take the time, if you haven’t already, to thank the sports staff and coaches over the course of the next week for all that they do. Without their hard work and dedication to girls’ sports, we wouldn’t be able to do any of this!

We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
