St Monica’s Swimming Carnival 2023! What a fabulous day at Richmond Pool in the glorious sunshine. We are so proud of each and every child who participated today in competitive events, water novelties, 25 metre races and land novelty activities. The cheers were loud and exciting and each child felt encouraged as they gave it their very best. An enormous thank you to our wonderful teachers who worked hard behind the scenes to make today the highly successful day that it was. A well deserved rest over the weekend for all!
