Swimming<br />
Carnival<br />
Parsons House was the winner<br />
of the first major House<br />
Competition of 2011 when it won<br />
the House Swimming Carnival<br />

to see so many parents and<br />
supporters cheering swimmers<br />
during the carnival.<br />

Swimming Carnival Results<br />
Outstanding performances from <strong>Perth</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> <strong>School</strong> students resulted<br />
in the <strong>School</strong> maintaining its standing in the Division A Swimming<br />
Carnival for the first time. <strong>Perth</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> <strong>School</strong> finished fourth on<br />
515 points. <strong>Perth</strong> <strong>Modern</strong> <strong>School</strong> won Division D in 2004, Division C<br />
in 2005 and finished second in Division B in 2006, thus competing in<br />
Division A for the first time in 2007.<br />
In 2007 we finished eighth and were<br />
relegated to Division B for 2008. We<br />
came second in 2008 and, competing<br />
in Division A again in 2009, were once<br />
again eighth and relegated to Division<br />
B. After winning Division B in 2010 and<br />
competing in Division A again this year,<br />
we scored more than double our 2007<br />
point score.<br />
Congratulations to all our Squad<br />
members and to Chien Yi Loo<br />
(Runner-Up 14 Years Girls’ Champion)<br />
and Trond Vlot (Runner-Up 16 Years<br />
Boys’ Champion). Our morning training<br />
sessions at the UWA pool, swimming<br />
camp and PE swimming sessions have<br />
all been important in our improvement.<br />
Special thanks to our Swim Coach,<br />
Mrs Robyn Winter, who has worked<br />
extremely hard in developing our squad<br />
with innovations like the 5 Year Club<br />
and specialist stroke coaches. Robyn’s<br />
daughter, Lauren, who has recently<br />
returned from a university swimming<br />
scholarship in the USA, also made<br />
a huge contribution by coaching at<br />
morning training sessions and giving<br />
valuable advice to students on the<br />
Carnival day.<br />
