On Tuesday 12th February, St Bernadette’s was represented by 19 excellent swimmers at the Cumberland Zone Carnival.
The weather has hot, the competition was hotter though hottest of all was the amazing performance of our swimmers!
Records tumbled, champions were crowned and our children cheered heartily for all of our competitors. Through outstanding team spirit and behaviour on the day, our team lived up to the excellent reputation which we have come to expect from St Bernadette’s.
Congratulations to our Zone Swimming Team for 2019!
