Year 6 Inclusive Gala v Wimbledon High
On Thursday 2nd May we hosted an all inclusive Year 6 Gala against Wimbledon High School.
Both schools invited all their year 6 girls to take part.
We divided the girls into 4 teams. Each person had at least 3 swims. It was lovely to see the girls cheering each other and supporting their class mates.
Although some of the girls were nervous they all took part and gave 100% effort.
The results were:
Team 1 – 35 ND – 25 WH
Team 2 – 26 ND – 34 WH
Team 3 – 32ND – 28 WH
Team 4 – 31 ND -29 WH
So many close races , final results ND 124 – WH 116 – a win for ND Year 6.
Thanks to Wimbledon High for bringing their Year 6 to us and to all the girls for having a go. I hope you enjoyed the experience.
Year 2 Gala on Tuesday 7th May.
Our Year 2 swim squad girls took part in their first swimming Gala on Tuesday 7th May.
We swam against St Hilary’s,
The 8 girls that took part were so excited and told me they loved the gala and wanted to do it again. That is lovely to hear. The girls swam so well and although it was very close Notre Dame managed to secure the Win. Thanks to St Hilary’s for bringing their Year 2 Girls and Boys.
Can’t wait to see the Year 2 girls in lots more galas next year.
Inter-Squad Gala 2024
The annual Prep Inter-squad Swimming Gala was held on Tuesday 14th May with over 50 girls competing including 8 year 2 girls. We witnessed some really exciting races. New records were set, so this shows how well the girls were swimming. Every girl set at least one new personal best time.
