GSFM SWIMMING TRIALS
Our school swimming trials were a huge success, and what a fantastic morning it was! Students of all ages showcased their swimming skills with incredible enthusiasm and energy, making for an exciting and fun-filled event. Seeing so many students giving their best in the pool, swimming beautifully and pushing themselves to reach new heights was truly wonderful.
Thank you to Mrs Olima for organising the event. We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the staff who worked tirelessly on the day to ensure everything was in place and the students had the best experience possible.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the wonderful parent volunteers. Without your help, events like these wouldn't be possible. Your support behind the scenes, whether timing races, cheering on the swimmers, or assisting in any way, made all the difference, and we couldn't have done it without you.
It was a memorable morning for all involved, especially the fun student/staff relay at the end and we’re already looking forward to next year. Well done to all the swimmers and a huge thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success!
