The Girls’ School students were on edge waiting in anticipation for the Swimming Sports results to be released this week, as they knew competition between the four Houses had been tight! Wishart and Chalmers were first equal with a total of 814 points each, with Hamilton following on 734 points, proving how close the competition was!  

Over three days, the girls were at the pool either swimming or supporting their peers, in the hope of gaining podium places. There was a mix of nervous and confident faces on the first day of ‘heats’ as the Year 4-8 students faced up to the competition to determine who would swim in the finals. On finals day, the atmosphere was fantastic as a sea of colour chanted and cheered from the sides of the pool as racing got underway. The girls displayed great technique as they raced up and down the pool, competing in 100m, 50m and 25m races.

Later in the week, the Junior girls in Years 1-3 took to the pool with the help of the Year 8 leaders for their ‘heats’ and finals. The girls were all brave and gave the races their all and as a result, were able to have a break and take part in the fun ‘noodle races’, which is the favourite. Smiles were shared by all and we thank the staff who helped organise and run the event and parents who came along to support.

Congratulations Wishart and Chalmers on your win!
