House Swimming Carnival
Participation is the winning strategy to success at the House Carnival.
Congratulations to all participants.
A Special Congratulations should be given to a number of students who participated in every possible event and supported many students in the process.
There was lots of colour and movement with traditional swimming strokes events to a range of novelty events such as Lap for a Point, Frisbee Relay, Staff Relay. There was also the popular Fashion Parade, Classic Catches and Raft Building and Race.
These all demonstrated the strong House Spirit that contributes significantly to the success of each House and the House System.
The final results were:
4th Place - 1149pts - DOHERTY
3rd Place - 1255pts - FLANNERY
2nd Place - 1406 - BLACKBURN
And the winning House of the 2023 House Swimming Carnival with 1500 points was: WOOD
