Courtney and Ishaaq broke three College records each on the day, Logan broke two records with Charlie and Eugene breaking a record each. Some of these records have stood for over a decade and these new benchmarks will take much beating in the coming years.

Our age champions, along with a large number of other students within the College will have the opportunity to represent the school in the Whitehorse Division Swimming Carnival on March 8 at Aquarena in Templestowe Lower. These participants will be informed via an event on Compass over the next few weeks. We wish them all the best with their preparation and training in the lead up to this event.

Thank you to all students and staff for their efforts in making our 2024 carnival a huge success.
