Grange Primary School was exceptionally well represented on Monday 9th May for State SAPSASA Swimming at Marion Swimming Centre. As part of the Western Districts team, Grange had 7 swimmers participating; Airlie Gates, Zara Newmarch, Sasha Moore, Sienna Pearce, Patrick Toivonen, Jimmy Toivonen and Hudson Tuckfield. Grange is very proud of the way the students participated and supported their team. The Western District team won the overall competition and several of our students accepted on behalf of the team.
All of our Grange swimmers gave their best effort. We were impressed with their results and their determination. All swimmers achieved personal best times.
