Our 2-day swimming carnival was a huge success with the cooperation and dedication of both staff and students. The senior carnival held on Wednesday 5^th Feb and many students dressed up in house colours, enjoyed the novelties and fiercely competed to result in numerous records being broken. The junior carnival on Thursday 6^th Feb in wet weather was inspirational as students consistently participated all day.

Bailey Whitton 14yrs, broke 8 existing records some dating back to 1998, an outstanding effort. Kiera Hetherington broke the 14yrs Individual Medley in style. While the 15yr old boys from Watson house, broke the freestyle relay.
