SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL 2026 WRAP-UP

Last Friday we held our swimming carnival at our beautiful new facilities at Quirindi Aquatic Centre. It was an amazing day of sport with student involvement at an all time high. It was lovely to see students having a go and gaining confidence in their ability over the day. I was especially impressed with the smallest and biggest splash contest held at the end of the day, so many smiling faces and it epitomises what our carnival is all about...having fun with your peers!

I would like to thank our amazing helpers and volunteers. Whether you were in the pool, on the stop watch, helping at the canteen or assisting with out novelty events, your assistance is so appreciated and makes our carnival that much more special. 

Congratulations to our age champions on the day, we are super proud of your swimming.

Term 1 Sport - Tennis

From next Friday (Friday 27th February) students will travel to the local tennis courts to participate in tennis sessions for sport. This means that sport uniform will be worn on Wednesdays and Fridays for the remainder of this term. These sessions will be facilitated by Mitch Power from Perform with Power Tennis Academy in Tamworth. These sessions will be highly valuable for our students and will develop their agility, strength, and coordination in hitting and striking skills. 

Permission for this event will be up in COMPASS this week. There is no additional cost as these sessions are paid for by our Sporting For Schools grant.
