On Tuesday the 28th February, St Paul’s entered a team of 27 swimmers to compete at the Bentleigh District Swimming Carnival at the Oakleigh Recreation Centre. We had a great result with St. Paul’s winning the Adjusted Point Shield which is awarded to schools based on their number of students.  The children represented St. Paul’s in a manner that should make us all feel extremely proud. They did their best in their events and they cheered and encouraged others as they swam.  A special thanks to Miss Alex Carlson and Mrs Daragh Drummond who assisted on the day along with Luke Grima (parent) who helped on the finish line. 6 students from St. Paul’s have been selected to go on and compete in 8 events at the Beachside Division Swimming Carnival on the 10th March at the same venue. 

They are:

Lincoln Hall - Open Boys Medley / 11y 50m Freestyle and Butterfly

Carter Hoffmann - Open Boys Medley

Francis Coppola - Open Boys Medley / 12/13y 50m Breaststroke

Ollie Jones - Open Boys Medley / 9/10y 50m Freestyle and Backstroke

Greta Brown - 11y 50m Breaststroke

Ange Mercieca - 12/13y 50m Butterfly

We wish all the children the best and congratulate them on a fantastic achievement.
