Junior School Sports

Junior School Swimming Carnival

On Thursday 17 November 2022, our Junior School competed in the annual Swimming Carnival. We had to modify the carnival to the Aquatic Centre’s capacity limits and the carnival was held over four sessions; Championship events and year-based Race League events.  

Championship Events  

During Physical Education (PE) lessons, the students competed in swimming trials. We used this data, along with times submitted on the New South Wales (NSW) Swimming Central database to then invite the top athletes from each event to participate in Championship Heats.  

25m Races and Race League Events  

Students competed in teams for their house in 25m races, novelty events and relays. The activities catered for all swimming abilities emphasising fun, participation and house spirit.  

There were two new school records set on the day, along with more swimmers participating in the events than in previous years. Results will be published in next week’s newsletter and our Age Champions and House winner will be announced at our final Kindergarten to Year 6 assembly
