On March 4th, a group of students who won in their events from our whole school Swimming Carnival represented our College at the Yarra District Division Swim meet at Lilydale Memorial Pool. Students participated with a wide range of schools across the Yarra Valley. Every single student from the College that participated arrived with a positive attitude and tried their best in all of their events. Everyone should be proud of their efforts as they did an amazing job. Every single Lilydale Heights swimmer contributed points for the overall result of our school coming in 3rd place for the day! Kayla, Spencer, Alasdair, Ivan, Amelie, Hayley and Bella all came 1st in their individual events. In the team events, both girls teams won their 4 x 50m Freestyle and the 4 x 50m Medley Relays. A special mention also goes out to Bella, Hayley and Amelie for winning all their events for the day and taking home the age group champion medallion. We would like to thank Mr McGown for supporting and encouraging everyone on the day and of course for taking the students to compete. Overall, it was an awesome day with great participation from everyone!
