Twilight Carnival

O’Connor Catholic College held their Annual Twilight Swimming Carnival Thursday February 8th 2018. The day commenced with the house march past and war cry. All houses were enthusiastic and demonstrated house spirit although La Salle were victorious. Sports Captains, House Captains and the Year 12 students were fantastic enthusing the younger students to participate not only in the war cry but in all events.  

Well done to all students who embraced the house war cry and carnival spirit by dressing up.
