WOW!!!! What an amazing day the students had participating in the 2023 Swimming Carnival at Corrimal Pool on Monday 13 February, 2023.

To all the students who participated and helped in some way, you were just wonderful. To see the true friendships and sportsmanship shine through in all of you was very special. 

On behalf of the whole school, I would like to say a very big thank you to all the parents and carers who volunteered their precious time to support us with this wonderful event. We are unable to have such a successful day and join as a community without your continued support. 

A letter has gone home to each of the parents whose child has made it through to the South Coast Regional Swimming Carnival on Tuesday 7 March, 2023. Student’s will also receive a hard copy of the event listing their event they will be swimming in.

If your child qualifies in the top 4 places in their event, at the South Coast Regional Swimming Carnival, they will be then invited to the Diocesan Selection Trials to be on Monday 13 March, 2023 at the Corrimal Pool between 9.00 am - 12.30 pm. 

Congratulations to our Age Swimming Champions for 2023.
