Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival
On Wednesday the 12th of February 2020, St Saviour’s students competed in the Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival at Glennie Aquatic Centre. These students are to be commended for the way they represented their school in swimming and behaviour on the day. Students swam their hearts out on the day and many students placed in the top four in their heats and relays. Some of these students have been selected to participate in the Central Zone Swimming Carnival to be held on Wednesday 19th February.
