Fairholme Sport Achievement

The girls in class ran to the windows to watch the victorious TSSS swimming team returning on Palm Drive, after a day of success in the pool.

“Fairholme, Fairholme, Fairholme,” 23 girls chanting as they arrived back on campus with more than the Francis Hopkins Diamond House trophy – Aggregate Champion school.

The Swim team became the champion school for the third year in a row and became the Relay Champion team for the 7^th year in a row.

Along with the aggregate and relay trophies, Fairholme was also victorious in the 15 Years and the 17-19 Year age group. 

Fairholme was one of 13 schools competing at the Milne Bay Aquatic Centre, and the swimming captain says their success isn’t only due to the long hours of training in the pool or the dedicated swimming staff.

“I’d like to thank all the students and staff who came to school early that morning, just to send us off with a very loud and proud Fairholme jump n jive. It was a very motivating moment,” says Lily Seckler.

The girls also join for dinner on the eve of the competition, with their swimming coaches, Head of Sport, Mr Tony Tregaskis and Principal, Dr Linda Evans – which the girls say attributes to the strength of the team in the competition.
