St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls has achieved an unprecedented victory at the IGSSA swimming carnival, winning not only the Boans trophy but all six year level pennants. This remarkable feat has not been achieved before, at least as far as the records go back.<\/p>\n

The IGSSA (Independent Girls’ Schools Sports Association) carnival is a highly competitive event that sees girls from their eight-member schools compete in a range of swimming events. The meet is officiated by Swimming WA Officials and the Host School. The carnival is known for its intense competition, and winning the Boans trophy is the ultimate prize.<\/p>\n

St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls has a rich history in the IGSSA swimming carnival, having won 16 Boans trophies since 1965. This places them firmly in the lead when compared to their closest rivals, Penrhos with 10 wins, MLC and PLC with 8 wins, St Marys with 7 wins, Iona with 5 wins, and Perth College with 4 wins.<\/p>\n

St Hilda\u2019s Head of Sport and former Olympic Hockeyroo, Kobie McGurk said, \u201cThe secret to St Hilda\u2019s sustained success is the positive team culture. The mutual trust and respect of the swim squad to challenge and support each other and invest in the team, really is something special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The St Hilda’s team’s exceptional performance in this year’s carnival has cemented their position as one of the strongest swimming schools in the state. Their victory is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the swimmers, coaches, and support staff who have worked tirelessly to achieve this success.<\/p>\n

St Hilda’s Principal, Fiona Johnston, expressed her pride in the school’s achievement, saying, “I am delighted with the exceptional performance of our swimmers at this year’s IGSSA carnival. Winning the Boans trophy and all year level pennants is an incredible accomplishment, and one that the whole school community can be proud of. Our swimmers have shown great commitment, discipline, and teamwork, and I congratulate them, on this historic win.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
