The Junior School Swimming Carnival, held on Friday 13 February at Whitlam Leisure Centre was a wonderful celebration of participation, community spirit, and friendly house competition. Even with the cooler weather, students arrived eager to swim, cheer, and give their very best.
The poolside atmosphere was buzzing as students took part in either 50 metre races, 15 metre races or novelty events that brought plenty of fun and excitement. Every race was met with cheers from the stands, as families and staff encouraged swimmers from all Houses.
Our young athletes displayed outstanding enthusiasm, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the day. Whether racing for points or supporting their teammates, students demonstrated excellent House spirit and cheered loudly from the grandstand.

Well done to all swimmers for their effort and energy. A big thank you to the Year 10 PASS class, under the guidance of Mr Bursey and Mrs Clarke who assisted with running events during the day. Thanks also to our staff, especially Miss Tikeri and Mr Graham for helping make the carnival such a smooth and memorable event.
Ribbons were awarded last week, at our Friday morning muster and age champions will receive their award at the Term Four Sports Award Assembly.
