Our school swimming carnival was held last Friday and was a smashing success! With some sensational swimming, encouragement of others and team spirit. One of the highlights for me was seeing our Kindies and Yr1's swimming full and half laps, incredible!

The parent relay is always a fun event and didn’t disappoint.

A huge thank you to staff, our P&F committee, parents and grandparents for all your help on the day, you are superstars and we couldn't run the event so smoothly without you!

Congratulations to all our Age Champions and Runners up and to all students who swam and cheered, helping their house gain points. Well done to Hughes! The winning House on the day.
