Inter-House Cross Country Carnival
The Inter-House Cross Country Carnival was held on Tuesday 9 April. Students participated in record numbers with each House greatly represented by boys, girls and staff.
The day started off with a great performance by Certificate II and III Music groups and I would like to congratulate them on their performance and thank Mr Beins and the Arts Department for their assistance.
As always, we had judges in the crowd and they were required to rank the best House on their spirit. I would like to congratulate Xanten House on winning the Spirit Bear.

ACC Swimming Success
Once all the ACC Swimming Carnivals have finished, the ACC runs what is known as a virtual carnival. The results of the virtual carnival will now be used to select the ACC Honorary All Star Swimming team.
The “virtual carnival” is a great opportunity for students to gauge their individual performances against the best performers from all other ACC schools.
I would like to congratulate Year 8 student, Riley Suckling for being named in the ACC Allstar Swimming team for the following event: U/14 Male - 4 x 50m Freestyle Relay.
