Just keep swimming....

On Friday 16th February, an eager Castlemaine Secondary walked down to the Castlemaine Pool for the annual swimming carnival. The day was a little cooler than last year for the start but the swimmers lined up anyway and we were off. I was very excited to hear everyone up on their feet barracking for their house and some people may not have had any voice left by the end of the day.

We had a couple of records broken on the day and loads of sunscreen applied as the sun came through. Novelty events were very popular, and a good selection of house colours display in the dress up competition. The day finished up with Pennyweight winning the overall female aggregate, with Kaweka winning the overall Boys aggregate. Overall Pennyweight won the Shield but it was very close this year.

It was great to have the VCAL students run their famous barbeque to ensure no one went hungry. We would also like to thank Ms Squires & all staff who assisted on the day, as it would not run as smoothly without their support and Castlemaine Swimming Club for the use of their equipment.

I think everyone really enjoyed the day and we look forward to representing the school in the next level of competition.
