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 10 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 2023 carnival a huge success.
