The Students have completed their swimming unit after 5 weeks of immersion in the pool. There has been plenty of improvement and big congratulations to all of the boys who have made a great effort to consolidate and work toward improving their strokes and technique.

The School competed at the Inter-School Swimming Carnival on Thursday 2 March and finished 4th overall. A special mention to all the boys in the Year 4 group who performed exceptionally well.

Over the coming weeks the boys are going to be completing their Gymnastics Unit. The instructors from Northern Districts Gymnastics Club will be helping out once again and the students will be focusing on their fundamental movement skills and concentrating on core strength, flexibility and discipline.

The Inter-House European Handball is in full swing at the moment and this years' competition looks to be incredibly close with a number of houses evenly matched and some great competitive games taking place at recess and lunchtime.
