SWIMMING SPORTS

Published on March 13th, 2009 (2 years, 11 months ago.)

Over the last two weeks we have had three different Swimming Sports. Firstly we hosted the Moutere Hills Swimming Sports. Upper Moutere students swam well with a number feeling really chuffed with their placings in their races.

Congratulations to

William Urquhart 1^st Breaststroke

Georgia Ewers 2^nd Freestyle, 1^st Butterfly

Leela Ryan 2^nd Backstroke

 

And to both our Junior and Senior Relay Teams who won their interschool relays…

Brodie, Graham, Iesha and Kate

William, Georgia, Brad and Leela

A special thanks to Vanessa Mairs and Alan Hounsell for organising and erecting the gazebos for this event.

 

Next our three Junior classes went to Mahana for their Swimming Sports. Brad, William and Jack from Room 6 also went along to take one of the tabloid activities. I was impressed by the leadership and support they showed as they encouraged everyone to have fun. The weather was great just like our children, who did us all proud. Rachael, Jaki and Penni came back to school with huge smiles and were rapt with how the day went.

 

And lastly this Tuesday saw our senior champions off to the Motueka Swimming Sports. It was Tania’s first time at these sports and she was very impressed with both our students’ achievements and also the way they conducted themselves.
