HRIS Regional Swimming Carnival Trophy WinnersThe High School Swimming Team took part in the HRIS (Hunter Region Indendent Schools) Swimming Carnival and all our students performed exceptionally well. Every student who participated did their best and they deserve to be congratulated for their achievements. Our team won the trophy based on school size and the team deserved the win.
The trophy will be engraved and placed in the school foyer.
Many of the students have trained in their own time for the events they participated in. Some of these students won first place in their heats.
The students also participated in medley relays and performed really well.
Congratulations to all the students who took part. We hope to retain the trophy when it is contested next year. We thank the parents who attended to help officiate.
