House Swimming Carnival 

Last Wednesday (19 February), the Year 4 - 6 students and teachers headed off to GESAC for our annual swim meet. It was a cool day but there was plenty of excitement (and nerves!) around the pool. Every student participated in as many events as they liked, as well as a fun noodle relay to end the day. Many students swam in over 3 events each! The overall results on the day were:

• 1st – Morey (662 points)
• 2nd – McDonald (650 points)
• 3rd – Wood (592 points)
• 4th – Reserve (580 points)

MOREY also received the House Spirit Award for all their hard supporting, encouragement, efficiency in running the team and cheering the loudest on the day for their HOUSE. 

The Staff vs House Captain relays were loads of fun for all! Unfortunately, the staff did NOT regain the crown - they placed 2nd and WOOD House won!

The students in each event for each age group who swam the best times will compete next Wednesday (4 March) at the District Swimming Carnival representing BNPS at MSAC.

Rugby Australia - Year 5 & 6

Last Friday (21 February), the Year 5 & 6 Recreation students were lucky enough to have a visit from Rugby Australia!

We hope that many families can embrace this initiative outside of school with the aim of incorporating physical activity in their daily routines.
