There was plenty happening at the Aquatic Precinct this week as Preparatory School students took part in their Swimming Carnivals, held across two days.

Monday’s carnival brought together students from Pre-Primary to Year 2. After several weeks of swimming lessons, our youngest swimmers had the chance to put their skills into practice, following the Marshals’ instructions and eagerly jumping into the pool when their names were called.

Year 6 students also played an important role, helping younger swimmers in the water and cheering them on throughout the races. It was a great opportunity for the older boys to support their younger peers and help build their confidence.

On Tuesday, students in Years 3 to 6 took to the pool, with close races and plenty of House spirit throughout the morning. For the sixth consecutive year, Yonga came away with the Champion Shield on 2611 points, while Karda claimed the Spirit Shield.
