Kings of the Pool: King House Triumphant!
In one of the closest finishes in our 110-year history, King House (588 points) snatched a shock victory over favourites Ovens (582) at the 2026 Swimming Carnival. Despite having the smallest roster, King’s dominant Girls' cohort and high participation in novelty events secured their 4th title in six years.
The following students were awarded prestigious medals for their individual dominance:
| Category | Champion | House |
|---|---|---|
| 13 Girls | Ashton Ryan | King |
| 13 Boys | Thomas Lindsay | Ovens |
| 14 Girls | Imogen Rocchiccioli* | King |
