The SAPSASA Swimming carnival was held on Wednesday 19th February at Strathalbyn Swimming Centre. We had 18 students compete and represent our school. 9 schools competed overall.
Our school finished 2nd for the day, with Victor Harbor Primary in 1st place. However, PEPS won the Handicap Shield. The handicap shield is awarded based on the size of each school’s year 4-7 enrolments and the overall points their students received on the day.
Well done to the students for trying their hardest and achieving their best result on the day. We had many place getters, with 9 students being invited to represent our Southern Fleurieu District at the State Sapsasa swim meet in a few weeks, at Marion Aquatic Centre. Congratulations to Corey, Amelia, Keat, April, Rai, Brydie, Zeb, Ava and Tayla. We wish you all the best.
