Year 5-8 Swimming Sports

Kendra Ward —

On Tuesday 18th February, Years 5-8 had their swimming sports.

It was awesome to see all of our Years 5-8 students at the Oxford Pool on Tuesday to compete in our swimming sports. From 11am-1.30pm we held our competitive length events of which the majority of children competed in. It was the biggest numbers we have had yet. We had some excellent results in our two length events and a team of 12 qualified for the Eyre Cluster tournament on Friday 21st February.
