​

Thank you all for your ongoing support of WSPSSA programs, in particular our carnivals, as they take a big commitment of time and energy. With a little luck, I am sure we have it in us to follow this carnival through and do as well as last year at the regional swimming carnival where Western Suburbs was placed 2nd overall.
