SPORTS INFORMATION
SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL
We hosted yet another wonderful swimming carnival in 2025! The vibe at the Boggabri Pool was electric, and it was magical to see the children and parents cheering on the children, who were swimming in each event, regardless of the house they were representing. This was the true spirit in action!
Thank you to all the families who came to encourage and support their children on the day. It was great to see the children challenging themselves and swimming in so many events. The highlight for many was the parent/student race. So many people were willing to participate this year!
A huge thank you to our PTF, who provided food for the day! We enjoyed a delicious fruit platter for Morning Tea and a sausage sizzle with drinks for lunch. We truly appreciate your continued efforts to support our school.
The success of a Carnival comes from a team of people, not just one person. Thank you to the staff of Sacred Heart, who supported me in their roles on the day of the carnival and to Ms Traynor, Mrs Herden and Mrs Hardaker (ACS Sports Co-ordinator), who supported me in the lead-up to the Carnival. What a cracker of a team!
