Swimming Carnival
Congratulations to all students, staff and parents that made our Swimming Carnival a huge success last Thursday. It was a wonderful combination of competition and fun and was full of team spirit and encouragement. Well done in particular to our House Captains for leading their Houses. It was great to see all students participate in some way. All placings were only given to the students entered in the Competitive races and who swam the fastest times in each age group.

| Age Champion | Runner Up |
| 8 Years Boys - Noah Alchin | 8 Years Boys - Tyler Mat |
