Primary Swimming carnival success
15 November 2022
While records were broken and competition was tough, it was the sportsmanship, support and cheering of peers no matter if they were coming first or struggling to finish, that made us most proud to be a member of the St Andrew's #diamondstrong community today. Thank you to parents who assisted with timekeeping, as well as all staff. It was wonderful to see so many families attending to support. Great to also welcome Olympian Isaac Cooper to present the medals and trophy. A big thank you to Ash, Brad, Bec, Elijah and all our swim teachers for their ongoing terrific support.
Congratulations to all swimmers who competed in Individual events and the many fun house relays! The quality of Swimming continues to thrive. Special mention to Hocknull House, who were crowned House champions, just ahead of Williamson in 2nd and Burkett in 3rd.
Congratulations to New record holder
