Swimming Carnivals
On Wednesday 26th October we held our first Grade 3-6 Norwood Swimming Carnival at the Riverside Pool. This was the first year we ran a swimming carnival for our grade 3/4 students, and it was a big success!
Our students had only just completed their Swimming and Water Safety Program at the Aquatic Centre and were keen to show off the skills they had developed during that time. Almost all students in attendance got into the water in the deep and/or shallow pools available. It was excellent to see students being able to enjoy themselves while also keeping safe around the water environment.
Thank you to all parents and family members who came to support as well as the assistance provided by our Grade 6 House Captains. After the 3/4 Carnival, it was a tight race between all houses with Waratah in the lead.
The 5/6 Carnival followed with similar enthusiasm and participation levels on display. The Grade 6's were particularly keen considering it was their last NPS sports carnival. We had many excited students given the opportunity to participate in games and activities in a pool that everyone could enjoy.
The races in the big pool were contested greatly with some excellent individual performances, these students have been rewarded with the opportunity to represent Norwood at the LSSSA Swimming Carnival tomorrow. My thanks goes to all spectators and helpful parents who helped the day run smoothly.
