AROUND THE COLLEGE

SSV Division Swimming Success

Our WHC SSV Division Swim Team enjoyed a fantastic day of competition last Friday, with all students performing strongly and representing the college with pride. Their effort, sportsmanship and team spirit were evident throughout the entire meet.

We are thrilled to congratulate Hugo Ellis, Finn Haynes-Carnegie and Charlie McCredden on qualifying for the Western Metropolitan event on April 1.

A special mention also to our 4 x 50m Senior Boys Medley team of Finn Haynes-Carnegie, Charlie McCredden, Levi Tubailagi and Dane Hodgson, and our 4 x 50m Freestyle Relay team of Dane Hodgson, Charlie McCredden, Finn Haynes-Carnegie and Seb Carnevale, who have also progressed through to the Western Metro carnival. We are very proud of all the results listed below.

Thank you to our wonderful VM students, Eden Beretta, Millie Collins, Raani Davis, Zarah Rooney and Nathalie Trickey, who assisted Michael Dundon on the finish line as official timekeepers. Their professionalism and support contributed greatly to the event's smooth running.

Well done to all involved. We look forward to cheering our swimmers on at the next stage.
