Roving Reporters - making a splash!

Many thanks to the Roving Reporters

Conor Philips, Kevin Sun and Josh Deveraux 

who covered the Swimming Carnival event for the Brunswick Star.

These intrepid reporters were on the ground, taking photos and recording interviews with students - finding out what they enjoyed about the carnival, and all the fun they were having!

 I really enjoy getting into the water and participating in races.  I raced breastroke and came third!

Year 10 - Abyad

My favourite thing is seeing students from all different year levels come together and supporting each other in their House competitions. It is a great atmosphere - really empowering and uplifting.

I think participation levels are good too. After Covid [lockdowns], it is great to see people getting back into things! Go Abyad!

Year12 - Lan Se

It is a really good time to have a break, hang out with some friends and have a swim.  I think I went pretty well in my race, considering I don't swim much. I am very proud that Lan Se is doing so well!

Seeing everyone have so much fun, is my favourite thing. Everyone is mingling and celebrating our school spirit.

I entered the Noodle Race . I was in it to have fun - and I did!

It is good to all be getting together and having a good time - I like the friends and banter.  I am enjoying the basketball comp!

It is great being able to spend the day with your friends, and being able to catch up with others that you don't often get to hang out with!

This event is a really fun day; it is cool to hang out with friends.

Principal - Oro

This year the carnival feels extra special, given the past 2 years.  There is an optimistic feeling in the air,  and I hope this event signals a return to our rich cocurricular program that has been on hold.  There is a really nice feeling of community today!

All the year levels interacted all day, across a range of activities.  In the pool, poolside and on the basketball court, everyone was having a great time!  My house, Lan Se, is doing really well, with so many students competing - we have a great chant going on here!
