Sheehan takes the trophy at the Swimming Carnival

Once again St Ursula’s annual Swimming Carnival was a splashing success. It was lovely to see so many students participate in the day, not only in the competitive races but in the recreational activities as well. Students were heavily involved in the spirit of the day with many dressing up in creative costumes. It was wonderful to see so many students on the poolside cheering on their peers. The splash zone was a highlight of the recreational activities.

During Term 1, Year 7 have participated in a swim program. This swimming program has had a significant impact of boosting confidence and building bonds among participants. As we all learn new skills and achieve milestones, such as improving strokes or mastering techniques we also make friendships and secure bonds with our peers. This swim program influenced many students to participate in the swimming carnival. Every time a student experiences a sense of accomplishment it enhances their self-esteem. So, this swimming program has not only made us amazing swimmers but it has also given us a confidence boost and helped us make good friends!
