Students participate in new swimming zone

A selected number of Woy Woy South Public School students participated in the first swimming carnival held under the new PSSA banner of Southern Central Coast Zone on Friday, March 15.

Charlie Polson was named the 11 years boys champion after he placed first in the 11 years boys butterfly, first in the 11 years boys freestyle, second in the 11 years boys backstroke and third in the senior boys medley.

Izabella McBurney placed second in the nine years girls freestyle while James Walker placed third in the 11 years boys butterfly and Kayla Hinwood placed third in the senior girls breaststroke and backstroke.

"From all reports, the standard of swimmers competing in events was well above the previous standard seen at the Woy Woy zone carnivals when only seven schools were involved," said Woy Woy South principal Mr Terry Greedy.

"Primary school sport is organised to identify students who can perform at an elite level.

"With reorganisation of the PSSA boundaries, our students will now be exposed to competition against better competitors than was the case previously and, over time, this will no doubt push them to raise their performance," said Mr Greedy.
