The Lion Mail: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Grace Vertigans

Athletic News September 28thSeptember – 2ndOctober

 

With Grade 11 & 12 back in the water, our team is excited to see our 6thgraders next week! With fall break fast approaching we hope to release our fall camp training schedule next week – keep an eye out on your emails!

 

We do have limited spaces, but we do have room for all current students enrolled with us. Our numbers are still being restricted so our aim is to maximise the amount of pool space being used by the swimmers consistently after school.

 

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

We hope that you were all able to enjoy some moon cakes on this special day with friends and family!
