House Swimming Wrap Up 

On Wednesday 7th February, Nossal staff and students headed to Doveton Pool in the Park for our annual House Swimming Carnival.  

The weather gods were very kind with a sunny 25-degree day, and the Nossal students brought their house spirit and energy which made for a fantastic event.  

Bravo to Phoenix House for once again winning the day! The final points table can be found below.

Students who have been successful at progressing to Division Swimming on the 5th of March have been notified, we are looking forward to another strong showing in our division! 

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the event! In particular the staff who were incredible in a variety of roles (and held their own in the pool!) and the house captains who put in a power of work delivering the out of water novelties and organising their competitors across the variety of events. 

Our next major House event is House Cross Country on Friday the 8th of March can't wait to see the whole school in action once again!
