Belconnen Zone Swimming Carnival

On Monday 27 March 12 students (Adeline B, Charlie C, Luci G, Taylor H, Nikolas H, Lily H, Paddy K, Ella K, Zarah L, Jett S, Maxwell S and Aya T) travelled to the AIS for the Belconnen Zone swimming carnival. These students represented the St Monica's community so beautifully. They supported each other, they treated their competitors with respect, they listened and spoke with manners and gave their absolute best in the pool. In swimming, all you can ask for is a personal best time. Well these students were smashing the times swum at our school swimming carnival by significant margins. Congratulations to all of the swimmers for their efforts. Of particular note was Zarah L who received a 3rd placing in the the girls 100m breaststroke.

ACT Rep Opportunities 

Over the last few weeks there have been several sports putting out information for representing the ACT at Primary School level. Please sign up to the School Sport ACT website- https://schoolsportact.org.au/ or follow them on Facebook to get up to date information. I will continue to share these on our school Facebook page and on Compass. There are trials being held soon for Tennis, Touch Football, League, Golf and Hockey.
