On March 1 and 2, 23 students from Lightning Ridge Central School travelled to Armidale to compete in the North-West Regional Carnivals. Eighteen of these students were from the primary school, while five students from the high school competed.
They competed against students from 90 other schools in the North-West region.
It was a very successful day. Four students from the high school, Sky and Brook Holland, Amba Taylor and Anna Miglietta, and three students from the primary school, Rory Cheal, Lauren Hughes and Zarleigh Jones, qualified to swim at State level at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
The high school students will compete on March 28, 29 and 30. The primary school students will compete on March 31 and April 1.
