On Friday the 12th March, a number of students represented the College at the Wollongong Diocesan Swimming Championships at Corrimal Pool. Being so far, it was great to see the students and parents make the effort to represent the College. It was a fun day full of team spirit and some fabulous swims. Despite the tough competition and tiring nature of the day, everyone swam to their best ability and should be applauded for doing so.

On the day we had a number of students who swam in multiple events and despite the exhaustion of continuously swimming, several students placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in their respective events.

Overall, St Francis had some wonderful performances at the diocesan level. Special mention must go to Bella G & Nicolas C who swam exceptionally well and as a result will represent the Dioceses at the NSWCCC Swimming Carnival. Bella G & Stephanie G won the Age Champion Medal in their respective age groups, with Nicolas C winning second place Age Champion. Congratulations on these excellent results!

Thank you to Mr Grant who came to help organise and support the students. Finally, a big thank you to the parents who came along to show their support for the Dio Swimming team on the day. Both the students and myself really appreciate your efforts.
