T
he third main House competition took place on Tuesday 22nd March namely the Key Stage 3 House Swimming Gala. Following the success of previous years the House Swimming Gala once more kept its’ new look with swimmers entering different division races; whilst our Division A swimmers were showing us their amazing stroke technique in the 100m Individual Medley, our Division C swimmers were having fun in their relay races and scoring valuable House points. All House members also had the opportunity to take part in the alternative event and over the course of 30-minutes, swim as many lengths for their House as they could. To make the swimming gala the great success that it was, a lot of hard work went in, both before-hand and on the day from the PE department, the swim coaches and the House Leaders – many thanks to all involved for creating such an enjoyable morning of swimming action. Particular congratulations go to the students listed below who now hold a new House record for their event – it was impressive that 21 House records were broken, fantastic swimming!

When the last relay was completed and all of the swimming points had been awarded to the Houses, it was calculated that only 51 points separated all four Houses and with just 17 points separating the top three Houses, it clearly showed what a hard fought competition it had been. A big shout out to our winners, Phuket House.
