Dunlop Wins the 2025 Swimming and Diving Carnival!

Dunlop house have won the 2025 EDSC Swimming and Diving Carnival after dominating all aspects of a wonderful day at the Boroondara Sport Complex on February 7.

In perfect weather conditions, students were able to participate in a variety of competitive and novelty events to earn points for their house. The atmosphere across the day was outstanding as students embraced the ‘House Spirit’ dress-up theme – led largely by the Year 12 cohort and House Captains. Overall, the day was enjoyed by all students and staff who were in attendance at the carnival.

After a great day’s competition, the house points from the day are as follows:

1st - Dunlop 614

2nd - Sutherland 570

3rd - Chisholm 521

4th - Bradman 428

Congratulations to the following students who were awarded age group champions for the carnival - there were some closely contested age groups with all competitive swimming events contributing to overall champion points:

12-13yo Girls                      Annabella 7H

12-13yo Boys                     Sean 8F

14yo Girls                            Cally 9M

14yo Boys                           Ishaaq 9O

15yo Girls                            Leona 9I

15yo Boys tied                   Eamon 9A

                                                Eugene 9G

16yo Girls                            Ashleigh 10J

16yo Boys                           Christopher 11J

17yo Girls                            Victoria 12K

17yo Boys                           Anson 10M

18-20yo Girls                      Courtney 12B

18-20yo Boys                     Chan 11M

Ishaaq broke six College records on the day, Sean and Leona one record each. Some of these records have stood for over a decade and these new benchmarks will take much beating in the coming years.

Our age champions, along with a large number of other students within the college will have the opportunity to represent the school in the Whitehorse Division Swimming Carnival on March 3 at Aquarena in Templestowe Lower. These participants will be informed via an event on Compass over the next few weeks. We wish them all the best with their preparation and training in the lead up to this event.

Thank you to all students and staff for their efforts in making our 2025 carnival a huge success.
