Primary School Swim Team compete at CPSSA A Division Swimming Carnival

Published May 9, 2023 · Academic

Recently, the Primary School Swim Team competed at the CPSSA A Division Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium. Our swimmers competed against seven Catholic schools from around Perth including Mel Maria, Ursula Frayne, Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Grace, St Peter’s, St Columba’s and Infant Jesus. The Swim Team committed to many weeks of early morning training sessions to ready themselves for the event and, the swimmers were very excited to finally be competing at the event.

Mel Maria was the Champion school for the day but our St Brigid’s College Junior School swimmers should be very proud of themselves. The girls placed 4^th overall and the boys placed 7^th. There were so many stand-out performances on the day, including the Year 5 and Year 6 girls who placed in almost every individual race and placed in all their relays. Isla, Emilia and Nate from Year 3 raced in the Year 4 races, placing in all of their individual races. And a special mention to Maisie, Natarsha, Tahlia, Nic, Jase and Daniel for competing in the open 100m freestyle and 50m butterfly races.

Well done to all our swimmers!

Kyra Clayton, Sharing Higher Experiences With Our Year 10s

Kyra Clayton, graduated from St Brigid’s in 2022, and she recently won South Metropolitan TAFE’s VET Secondary Student of the Year Award . Kyra was one of seven recipients of the award out of a total of 24,000 TAFE students. Last week Kyra visited the College to provide some mentorship to our Year 10s. Kyra spoke about the various pathways to tertiary study, how she navigated them at St Brigid’s, the subject choices that worked for her as well as her personal epiphanies when it came to study styles and her abilities. “The dedication and perseverance of my teachers pushed me forward to be the best I can be, and they never let me give up or do anything less than my full potential. St Brigid’s allowed me to find new opportunities and ways to achieve my goals which were outside of the school’s set curriculum. This game me the drive to push myself to amazing opportunities and to do the things that have lead me to where I am today, “said Kyra. Today, Kyra is enrolled at ECU, where she is pursuing an Undergraduate Degree in Human Resource.
