House Swimming Carnival 2020

Thursday the 13th of February saw the 4 houses down in the pool competing in the inter-house swimming sports for the Jen McArthur Cup. It was great to see so many students in the pool creating some healthy competition between friends and a little bit of rivalry between houses.

A highlight of the day was the teachers versus year 12’s race which saw 12 teachers jumping in the pool going head to head against four year 12 teams. The teachers started slow but a solid lap from Ms Adam’s saw them take back the lead. A few students tried to sabotage the race, however the teachers managed to still come out on top. Well done to all the year 12’s for their fantastic effort and behaviour throughout the day.

House leaders did a fantastic job on the day getting the race goers organised and ready to jump in the pool. All staff worked tirelessly throughout the day to ensure the day ran smoothly.

At the end of the day it was Fraser that come out on top with a convincing win over Laver. Fraser Captain’s Laura Robinson and Aaron Glare were proud recipients of the Jen McArthur Cap.
