Wow, what an awesome second season to Rehoboth’s participation with the Associated and Catholic Colleges (ACC) competitions. Last week’s Swimming Carnival on Monday 12 March was a resounding success, with so many students being involved, and our God of joyful blessings making this Swimming Carnival a time of celebration for our school community as we shared our skills, efforts and enthusiasm, working together for the benefit and joy of the whole community.
A piece of Rehoboth history was made today as Newton House won the 2017 Primary Swimming Carnival.
For many years the Newton team has watched on as their counterparts held up numerous trophies, but finally it was their turn, edging out Tyndale 1048 to 1034. Wycliffe rounded out the table with 988 points, making the Carnival a closely fought competition.
We had a great day for the Swimming Carnival on Monday this week. The students were excited, the new PE teacher was perhaps just a little nervous, and everyone was ready to do their best and to cheer everyone on.
It was with much excitement that the children in Pre-Primary to Year 3 boarded the bus to go to StateSwim last Monday. We consider water safety to be very important in a country like Australia and this was a great opportunity for the students to develop their skills. It was good to see that many students advanced to the next swimming level. Well done to everyone!
