Roncalli Swimming Sports Day 2021

by Jose Zandbergen

We braved our Swimming Sports Day on Friday 12 February. The weather forecast unfortunately was not accurate but eventually came out fine. It was an experience for our students to make the best out of the situation they were faced with. To have a positive attitude, a choice in how they react, and make the best of the day with plenty of smiles. Well done to all involved in the day.
