Opportunities for all students to participate

Swimming Carnival

The 2024 Swimming Carnival proved to be an outstanding success, drawing a remarkable turnout of over 700 students, with over 200 enthusiastically participating in the various events. The competitive spirit ran high, infusing the atmosphere with excitement and energy throughout the day. While commendations are extended to all houses for their commendable efforts and sportsmanship. Let's give a big congratulations to everyone that participated in the races!

Cecil Hills High School had some standout performers, with the following students winning age champions:

12 years: Panayoti Totsis

13 years: Finn Hulls and Mia Suwanto

14 years: Riley Truong and Taliyah Wang

15 years: Leandre Lonita and Laura Sedlan

16 years: Rhys Troung and Davina Kong

17 years: George Drmic and Katrina Le Nguyen

Chisholm screamed their lungs out and led the house to a victory of the chants and the Year 11 and 12 students showed amazing school spirit by dressing up in amazing costumes, like our favourites:  Shrek, Minions and Grapes. 

It's with great pride that we announce the 

Whitlam Sharks as the successful victors of the carnival!

Athletics Carnival

Just like the swimming carnival the athletics carnival was a fantastic day with lots of fun and participation. Even though the day started off with a bit of rain it quickly cleared up into the perfect weather for some good competition. The first competition was the chants, where Chisholm took the victory. The Year 12 students also participated in a 100m race which was a fun way for them to their last school carnival. 

Everyone who competed that day did well and had fun but there were some outstanding athletes from each grade:

12 years: Levant Mansoor and Shanaya Singh

13 years: Lachlan Obradors and  Mia Cardarello 

14 years: Zaki Younes and Evangel Chuna

15 years: Jake Glasovac, Arman Nazari  and Jayda Tu’Akoi

16 years: Kaylen Pratap and Chloe Dempsey 

17+ years: George Drmic and Ashlee Gestrin

Over with the house leaders there were many activities for the students to participate in whilst cheering on their friends and waiting to compete, such as tug of war, volleyball, soccer and knots and crosses. 

We can't forget to give a huge congratulations to Whitlam for once again winning overall, hopefully they win again at cross country to take out the ultimate victory!
