Interschool Swimming

On Friday 3 March, several students attended the Barwon and Bellarine swimming carnival at

Kardinia Pool. Thomas Airey came first in the U16 backstroke event and will move on to the

next round. Other swimmers competed to the best of their ability in their events, but were

outclassed.

The boys also fielded a relay team that, despite an injury to the swimmer doing the

butterfly, competed as well as they could, and had fun along the way! Well done to those

who attended and represented the College in an exemplary manner - Tom Pell, Rikelle

Phillips, Jim Oberg, Gus Donohue, Liam Gregoire and Mustafa Habibi and Thomas Airey.
