What a night to be proud of! On an electric evening at Tamworth’s SnowDome our children took part in the Tamworth Schools Swimming Gala Finals — competing against much larger schools and showing exactly what Mary Howard and St Andrew children are made of.
Seven of our children qualified for the finals and they did us proud: a fantastic haul of 2 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze. The children showed determination, concentration and great team spirit throughout. It was a brilliant example of perseverance and koinonia in action — supporting one another and celebrating every success, big or small.
A huge thank you to Mrs Jones and Mrs Raybould for their time, encouragement and calm organisation on the poolside, and to the parents who came along to cheer the children on. Your support made the evening even more special.
A few highlights
- 7 finalists representing Mary Howard & St Andrews against larger schools — a real achievement in itself.
- Medal tally: 2 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze.
- Strong sportsmanship throughout: children congratulated one another, welcomed younger teammates, and kept nerves focused into strong performances.
We are extremely proud of our schools’ community!
