House Swimming Carnival

The 2025 Wantirna College House Swimming Carnival was another fantastic event.  This year we went back to Croydon Memorial Pool after a few years at Monash.  We had great weather, competitive swimming, house relays, novelty events and even a Money In The Bank match with our Year 12 Wrestlers (well done to the Undertake on his win). A massive thanks to everyone who took part in an event, and to all staff for their efforts in running another successful carnival. 

It is now time for the results:

Year 12 Parade

As part of their final year celebrations, our Year 12 students dress up in costumes for the whole-school Carnivals. Their annual parade around the pool is always a popular event. It was great to see many of our Year 12's also competing in the events!

Thanks to everyone who attended and also to our photographers on the day student, Olivia Martin and staff, Amber Thomson and Hayley Martin.
