2019 Swimming Carnival
On Thursday 28 February, the McCarthy Catholic College Swimming Carnival was held at Scully Park Pool. This year with the help of our senior students, SLC and Sport Captains, there were several new initiatives which took place on the swimming carnival day. The cake stall at Recess was a great success. Thanks to the number of students who spent time baking cakes and making sweets in their House colours. A big thank you to Annabelle Pegus, Keely Jameson, Julia Hannaford, Billie Mitchell and Josie Chick for their hard work.
At the swimming carnival there was also an Inflatable Relay Race, Grass Relay event and the usual Giant Ball relay was once again a favourite. The Year 12 students fancy dress theme of Aussie saw some whacky and wonderful costumes.
Thank you to Mr Williams and the Year 12 SLR class for assisting setting up the carnival in the morning.
Student numbers attending the carnival and participation levels were excellent. Many races were tightly contested and the relays were very exciting with the support from House groups inspiring some very fast swimming.

McCarthy Netball 2019 Season
McCarthy Netball Club will be holding their Annual General Meeting on 16 March at 9:30am at Ruby’s Café. We would love to welcome all parents/guardians and coaches to the meeting, there is no pressure to take up executive positions.
Registration Update
Thank you to all the students that expressed an interest in the winter competition and collected a netball note. These notes need to be back into school (Mr Kenniff or the office) by 15 March so that the committee can start organising teams. There have been some issues with the McCarthy portal on the MyNetball website for registration. It is important for the committee to have the whole process online so we will keep you updated with the process. Please check the website regularly from next week (if it is only charging $100 it is only covering rego and not competition fees). Please email the committee if you have any questions – mccnetball@arm.catholic.edu.au
