Final performances in the BIS pool came from Year 13s Jeremie Luong and Junwon Hwang, who excelled once again with a plethora of points in their races. The day could not have been a success without the superb effort from the swim coaches and PE staff. A special thank you should also go to the wonderful work of all the parent helpers who volunteered their time, some for a couple of hours, some for double shifts and the whole day, that made the organisation and delivery of such a big event for so many children run so smoothly.
