Swimming - Division Championships Wednesday 24th Feb

At this stage the Division Swimming Championship is still going ahead at the Moe Outdoor Pool on Wednesday 24th February. I am still waiting for results from other schools to determine those students who will be competing next week. I am also waiting to hear from School Sport Victoria as to whether the event is allowed to go ahead also. I am hoping to have the results by Friday and also hear from School Sport Victoria on the approval of this event going ahead. On Monday the students who will be swimming at Moe in the Division Swimming Championship will receive a permission letter from Mr Hogan detailing the swimming event and program.
