Bradman wins a thrilling 2021 Swimming and Diving Carnival!

Bradman house have brilliantly begun their attempt of a ‘three-peat’ of House Championships by taking out the 2021 EDSC Swimming and Diving Carnival held at Boroondara Sport Complex in Week 2 of Term 1.

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 in large numbers by the Year 12 cohort and House Captains. Overall, the day was enjoyed by all students and staff who attendance the carnival.

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

1st - Bradman 510

2nd - Dunlop 489

3rd - Chisholm 458

4th - Sutherland 295

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 and diving events contributing to overall champion points:

Tied 12-13yo Boys           Christopher BOTUYAN

Tied 12-13yo Boys           Alex YIP

Logan Cox broke five College records on the day, with Farida Taha and Daniel Bray also breaking a record each. Some of these records had 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 4 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 2021 carnival a huge success.
