There was an air of excitement in the Aquatic Precinct this Tuesday as we hosted the Pre-Primary to Year 2 swimming carnival in the morning, followed by the Year 3 to 6 carnival in the afternoon. After weeks of swimming lessons, the students were eager to showcase their skills in the pool.

Our youngest swimmers followed the Marshall’s instructions, lined up patiently with their peers, and eagerly jumped in the pool when their name was called. Enthusiastic helpers from Year 6 assisted their younger peers in their races, providing support, additional supervision and motivation. This is one of many initiatives in the Preparatory School to connect younger boys with their older counterparts. In addition to encouragement in the pool, the boys were cheered on by parents and staff from the sidelines.

Next up was the Year 3 to 6 carnival, where spirits were equally high and the competition tight. This event is a chance for the older Preparatory students to embrace healthy competition, teamwork, and positive sportsmanship by supporting their peers – regardless of their House. It’s also an opportunity to burn off some energy outside the classroom and enjoy the benefits of physical exercise outdoors.

Congratulations to Yonga for taking out the top spot, and to Wardung for securing the Spirit Shield.
