District Swimming Competition Last Monday, 23rd February 2015, 31 swimmers representing Bundanoon Public School swam at the Wingecarribee District Swimming Carnival. All children represented our school with pride and everyone swam their very personal best. The students from Bundanoon displayed excellent behaviour during this event. Thank you to parents who transported children to the carnival, to Michelle Willis for providing a shade, and to Kylie Ware for managing the team. From this carnival, three (3) of our students have been chosen to represent the district at the Regional Swimming Carnival, to be held at Dapto Pool next 6th March 2015.
