Junior School Swimming Carnival 2026
On Friday, 6 February, the Junior School held its annual swimming carnival. It was another fantastic day which highlighted some amazing swimming. The high level of competitiveness and respectful sportsmanship was evident by all students. The high participation numbers were credited to the school's own swimming program and to students who were willing to step out of their comfort zone. The house spirit was exceptional, and war cries could be heard throughout the event. Records were smashed this year with six records in total being recorded.

- Girls 9yrs 50m Freestyle – Charlotte Elder 39.20
