What an amazing effort by all our students who competed at the Wantirna District Swimming Competition! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ You gave it your absolute all in the pool and represented our school with fantastic energy, determination and team spirit.

A huge congratulations to Ariana Duke and Oscar Agius for qualifying for the Knox Division Swimming Competition — what a fantastic achievement! 

A special shoutout to Oscar, who was crowned 11-Year-Old Boys Student Champion — an outstanding accomplishment! 🏆👏

St Simon Interschool Sport Key Dates 2026

Please note the following date for our SSV Wantirna District and Knox Division for the 2025 calendar year.

These dates are subject to change according to the discretion of the District and Division Coordinator. We wish to provide parents of our school the opportunity to acknowledge when upcoming sporting events are occurring. 

We particularly call out to all future Year 5 and 6 parents to note the dates and to be potentially available to support our Interschool Sport teams as parent involvement not only supports our students in many ways as coaches and umpires but helps our staff with assistance with supervision. We thank all parents for their great help in making Interschool Sport a success for St Simon!
