This week we swapped “Gold hats at home time” for “gold caps at swim time”!

Congratulations to the 19 Campbell Primary students selected for the small (but mighty) swim team to take on around 15 other schools across 35 separate swim events at the Northside Regional Swimming Carnival at the AIS on Wednesday. To just make the team they not only had to finish in the top 2 overall from their Campbell Primary School swimming carnival heats, but they also had to meet minimum qualifying times – no easy feat! It was fantastic to see the pride and enthusiasm at the AIS pool, with plenty of Campbell Primary School gold caps giving their all in the water.

Official results are yet to be released but there were a significant number of Campbell Primary School students finishing top 3 in their events and we are confident that a select few will qualify to compete again at the State carnival next term. Regardless of the results we are incredibly proud of this crew of swimmers and their outstanding athletic effort, but more importantly of their sportsmanship and encouragement of all other participants. Campbell students are Safe Respectful Learners and it was great to see our PBL on full display to the region!

A special thanks to the parents and carers who took the day to support our students in getting to and from the AIS and preparing for their events. It takes a community to make these days a success and we are so grateful for ours!
