St Ursula’s Girls Make a Splash!

On Monday 4 March, 16 Urshies Swimmers went on to the Sydney Catholic Schools Conference 3 Swimming competition. We all put in immense effort and collectively scored lots of points for our school! We had good fun reminding each other to go down to marshalling, snacking in between races and laughing as we stood soaked on the awards podium. Ms Murray cheered us on and everyone supported one another!

A big congratulations goes out to Isabella Esposito who set three conference records. Here are some amazing achievements from the carnival;
