40 pupils from year 7-13 represented the school in an annual swimming gala that was held at the English International College. Each of the representatives performed at an excellent level, they rose to the challenge of their competitors putting 100% of their effort into their races. Aloha College finished in 3rd place overall which was an outstanding achievement considering this is the first time we have entered the event. All of the pupils thoroughly enjoyed themselves and should be proud of their performances. Well done and keep swimming!
