Preparatory Swimming Sports 2023
On Monday 20 February Years 5–8 students competed at Jellie Park for their annual Swimming Sports. The students competed in the 50m freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and open butterfly events.
The week before, the Year 4 students completed their championships and their very first experience of Swimming Sports. As a cohort, they demonstrated resilience and excellent attitudes towards giving it a go and practising being safe in the water. The Year 4 students should be very proud of their efforts, and now work towards becoming more confident swimmers for next year.
On Monday 20 February, the Sports Captains started the day early setting up their house colours and rehearsing their chants for their first opportunity as House Captains and leaders of the Preparatory School.
During the day, we saw Mrs McBride make a guest appearance in the class relay with 7A prevailing at the finish line. In the Year 8 Class Relay, last year’s Swimming Champions Irina Westerink, Cooper Pringle and Bryn Seath made guest appearances, with 8A taking out the Year 8 Class Relay.
Overall, the day was full of excitement, Erwin winning on House Points, a lot of organisation from all ends of the pool, and new Swimming Champions were crowned for 2023.
A huge thank you to the extended staff who made this day possible, and congratulations to everyone for being involved on this day.
