Swimming Carnival

SWIMMING RESULTS
HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL
The weather for this year’s whole school Swimming Carnival was on the cool side however, that did not stop students eagerly getting involved in all of the day’s activities, including tug of war, the splash pad, DJ tunes and of course the traditional swimming events. Once again Mr Ryan’s commentary added to the excitement of the Year 12 Diving events 😊
Everyone enjoyed the venue’s pool edge seating which saw standing room only for the Freestyle Relays. After beating the Year 12 students last year in the blue ribbon event, the Staff V Student Freestyle relay race, the staff team came out second best on this occasion. Both students and staff enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy a day away from the classroom together.
Well done to ILUKA House who has now won back to back House Swimming Carnivals!
