House Swimming Carnival

On Friday the 12 of February, the annual Killester College swimming carnival was held at Noble Park Aquatic Centre (NPAC). 

The day was filled with dress-ups, competition, and fun activities. Not only did we have the swimming sports going, but simultaneously had all different ball games such as volleyball, basketball, and totem tennis which we could all participate in. 

Once the first 100-metre race began there were high levels of encouragement from the four different houses cheering on their swimmers. 

The tallies throughout the day were fairly close, but a big congratulations to Brigid House for ending the day with a big win for our house!!! And a big thank you to all the swimmers who participated in the races and to all the teachers who helped organize the day to make it so enjoyable.
