always aspire to achieve their best for their College. This year it was no different, what characterised this year was the elaborate training sessions conducted prior to the carnival, the first time we have done this for some time. While under no illusions, the value of preparation albeit only short proved to have a positive affect on our students. We must thank Angelina Flokis who assumed the role of swimming coach for our students. Angelina is a former student of the College and a previous member of the winning girls intermediate and senior championship team for our girls. Her presence is testament of the passion and love our students have for their College even after they are gone.
Excellent results included Rhea Tsimboukis of Year 7 finishing 13th in the 12 years girls 3km run and John Trovas finishing 17th, other results included Simeon Kerameas 31st, Anastasia Vorgias 33rd, Chrystal Christie 25th, George Contominas 23rd, Nicole Adam 21st, Nicholas Frazis 32nd, Rothopi Nicolaou 35th . We are very proud of our students and their strong commitment and willingness to try their best. We look forward in trying to match their enthusiasm and passion with a deliberate training program to enhance the students’ preparation for such an event in future years. Thank you to all parents who attended on the day, we value your ongoing support of the sports programme.
Despite being a smaller school, where other larger schools made noise in the stand, our students created all the noise in the pool and we did not go unnoticed. Our students were excellent with very strong performances particularly in the boy’s events. This year we managed to fill all the events for the boys and the strong collegial feel in the stand was evident as a result of the strong leadership by our senior students who were subsequently swimming for the last time for their school. Theodore Kipriotis, Nicholas Fotopoulos and Maria Mio accompanied by Leonidas Andrew were amazing. This accolade for our school is the first for the boys since 2004 when our boys collected first place for the senior boys. The overall result is the best we have had in our schools involvement with the ISA. These strong results were a reflection of some excellent individual performances which also led to 3 school records being broken on the afternoon. Records Broken Nicholas Frazis 100m Freestyle 1.06.78 Theodore Kipriotis 50m Freestyle 26.52 50m Butterfly 28.27 Some of the highlights included: Nicholas Frazis – 1st 50m Freestyle, 1st 50m Breaststroke, 1st 100m Freestyle, 1st 50m Backstroke, 1st 50m Butterfly Michael Constantopedos – 1st 50m Freestyle, 3rd 50m Breaststroke, Nicholas Kollias – 1st 50m Breaststroke, 2nd 50m Backstroke Nathan Adam - 1st 50m Breaststroke John Trovas 3rd 50 m Freestyle
