Victory for Swan House

McGuire Swimming Carnival

Tuesday  February 13th saw our students take part in the annual Swimming Sports Carnival. Under beautiful blue skies and warm weather, students competed for their house groups in search of the Champions Shield. In a boost for our sports program, we saw a huge increase in both participation and attendance at the carnival and this was reflected in the tightness of the competition in many of the events.

In traditional McGuire College Spirit, the atmosphere was warm and encouraging, with all of our students displaying our REAL values of Respect, Environment, Accountability and Learning. Our students so often demonstrate wonderful team, House and individual spirit and Tuesday was no exception.

2018 saw the breaking of an 11 year drought, with Swan House finally tasting success for the first time since 2007, taking out the Champions Shield in a dominant performance. Mr Shannon and his Swan House leaders Dyamond Simi and Masooma Ekhlasi deserve all the credit for building the team spirit and encouraging participation within Swan House. A deserved result for all their hard work. Well done!

Congratulations to all our winners and to everyone who took part in the day.
