St Philomena's Swimming Carnival
On Wednesday 8 February, we held our St Philomena's 3-10 Swimming Carnival in Warialda. It was such an amazing day with students showing off their exceptional sportsmanship and swimming skills. It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces enjoying a day out in Warialda!
To everyone who helped make the carnival such a success - the students, staff, volunteers and families, thank you!
Congratulations to everyone who participated and contributed towards house points. It is fabulous to be part of a school community where everyone is willing to try their best. The following students were outstanding in the pool and were awarded Champion and Runner Up on the day:
