Years 7-12 House Swimming Carnival
The Senior School House Swimming Carnival was held at the Croydon Memorial Outdoor Swimming Pool on Monday 10 February in perfect weather for an outdoor event. It was a very close competition between the three Houses this year with each one taking the lead throughout the day.
The winner of this year’s House Swimming Carnival is Tabor Trojans (White House) with 1,008 points, followed by Zion Crusaders (Blue House) on 980 points and Gibeon Warriors (Red House) finished third, with only a 2-point difference, on 978 points. Gibeon Warriors (Red House)won the House Spirit trophy in a close battle with Blue House.
The U/16 50m Freestyle record held by Une G (Class of 2024) of 28.80 seconds was broken by two students, Hanson S (9.9)finishing in28.43 seconds and Sanaa G (10.2) finishing in 28.53 seconds. Congratulations to Hanson and Sanaa!
The Carnival finished with a novelty event by our House Captains and Vice Captains to end the day in great spirit. The points accumulated by each House are shown below.
