Twilight Carnival

Twilight Carnival 

O’Connor Catholic College held their Annual Twilight Swimming Carnival Thursday February 9th  2017. The day commenced with the House March Past and War Cry. All houses did a great job, with Ursula being victorious. Sports Captains, House Captains and the Year 12 students were fantastic enthusing the younger students, it was truly a war cry ceremony to remember! Congratulations to our year 12 students who were 100% in attendance for the entire day and night!

Congratulations also go to the following best dressed individual house members: Hayden Ley and Liam Stuart from Benilde, Olivia Conyngham from Ursula and Neressa Hallman from La Salle. Best dressed groups went to the signposts and the air socks! Well done to all students who embraced the House War Cry and Carnival spirit by dressing up.
