Year 7 - 10 PCG Swimming Carnivals

Monday, 13 and Wednesday, 15 February

Earlier this week the action in the pool heated up to match the scorching conditions as PCG’s in Year’s 7, 8, 9 and 10 battled it out in the annual PCG Swimming Carnivals.

After the impact of COVID in recent years, it was fantastic to see many parents once again in attendance as they witnessed countless students achieve personal bests in striving to help their PCG win the prestigious PCG Swimming title.  

One major emphasis of the carnival involves encouraging the students in all PCG’s to come together as a team which they did in gusto with their passionate and boisterous cheering echoing through the campus. The fantastic showing of the TC Spirit was also evident as students dived out of their comfort zone to swim to the best of their ability for the benefit of their PCG.

All carnivals were founded on maximising participation and enhancing student well-being where students represented their Pastoral Care Groups in inclusive events such as the Board Race Relay as well as the traditional strokes in individual and relay races.

The top placing results for each carnival were as follows:

Congratulations to the successful PCG’s, and to all students for demonstrating great sportsmanship regardless of where their team placed. Special mention is deserved for those students who swum in the maximum 5 races over such a short period of time – this display of speed and stamina was very impressive as was the number of students who swum competitive times to earn themselves a place in the PSA Interschool squad.

Special thanks is extended to Miss Adelaide Garland for her outstanding efforts with carnival logistics as well as to the many pastoral, administrative, grounds and Physical Education staff involved for their exceptional teamwork in ensuring the carnival’s ran smoothly.
