Our Gymnastics team had a fantastic day last Friday at the Diocesan gala day. Competing in the 20's category (teams of more than 10), we came third, taking away 3 gold medals (congratulations Molly, Natalia and Yorklyn), 11 silver and 3 bronze. They spent the whole day cheering each other, and other schools on as they showcased their skills. You could hear them clapping from the grandstands every time!! They showed fantastic sporting attitude and positively represented the school. Congratulations to our whole team, and thank you to everyone who supported our gymnasts.
