St Edward’s Swimming Carnival

The St Edward's 2025 Swimming Carnival held on Monday at Scully Pool was a fantastic day with lovely mild weather! We were so impressed with the participation of all students, many taking part in races for the first time. The cheering and leadership from our House Captains were awesome, helping everyone feel supported and encouraged. We're also proud to announce that 16 students qualified for the Diocesan Carnival, which will be held in Gunnedah on Friday 28th February. A big thank you to the parents who helped with timing the races and to all the staff who helped out immensely during the day.
