On Thursday and Friday last week, the College held the Junior and Senior Swimming Carnivals for 2022. We were treated to some outstanding weather on both days which contributed to good participation throughout all Year levels. Students participated in a number of competitive race events including freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and relay events, as well as the novelty events of surfboard polo and water volleyball which had an emphasis on participation.
It was fantastic to see the House Spirit shown from all students, especially with the introduction of the House chants during the lunch time break, which our excellent House Captains coordinated. An increased emphasis on House Spirit will occur in our upcoming Athletics and Cross-Country Carnivals.
A big thank you to all of the staff who contributed to making the days successful in a multitude of ways, prior to or during the carnivals, especially the HPE staff. Also, to the SRC members who were constantly encouraging the students, helping coordinate activities on the days and arriving early on both days to help with the preparation. But most importantly, well done to all of the students who ultimately made the carnivals the success that they were.
Congratulations to Frayne House who took out both the Junior and Senior Carnivals, thus winning the overall Swimming Carnival as well as the Age Group Champions which can be seen below.
We will have a large team representing the College at the upcoming NSATIS Swimming Carnival on 9 March. We wish them all the best.
