Latrobe Valley Division and Gippsland Region Swimming Carnivals
On Wednesday 8 March, 14 students from St Michael's competed in the Latrobe Valley Division Swimming Carnival at the Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre, Traralgon. Every student placed in the top 3 of every event they competed in - an absolutely fabulous effort!
Almost all students progressed to the Gippsland Region Swimming Carnival, held on Thursday 16 March at Sale Aqua Energy Outdoor Pool. It was a windy but very sunny day for all swimmers, including the 13 from St Michael's. Well done to all on a fantastic carnival and congratulations to Chloe Szkwarek & Blake Warne who won both of their events and will compete at the State Swimming Finals at MSAC on Friday 28 April - good luck!
Latrobe Valley Division Individual Tennis
The Latrobe Valley Division Individual Tennis Competition was held on Thursday 13th April and five students (pictured) competed against 37 boys and 25 girls from schools around the Latrobe Valley. We recognise the effort and hard work of our other three students who competed on the day. They were highly competitive and should be proud of their achievements. We would like to congratulate Candice who placed first in the girls division and Ekhai was runner's up in the boys division and wish them the best of luck at the Regional Finals, which are being held on Wednesday 26th April. We are sure they will do St Michael’s proud!
Traralgon District Athletics Carnival
It was a proud moment for St Michael’s Primary School this week when 70 students competed in the Traralgon District Athletics. On Tuesday 28 March 2023, students from Grade 3 to Grade 6 participated in a range of track and field events, determined to show off their athletic skills. The day was filled with enthusiasm and energy, as students from all grades cheered each other on. Our athletes put in their best efforts, and many returned with ribbons. Every single student represented St Michael’s with respect, good sportsmanship and dedication. The Traralgon District Athletics was a great opportunity for our students to gain skills in competing in a team environment, as well as to develop their physical abilities and self-confidence. We would like to thank staff and parents who helped on the day and came to cheer on our athletes. We would also like to congratulate the 26 students who placed either first or second in at least one event, to progress to the Latrobe Valley Division Athletics which is being held in September. Well done to all!
