Our first carnival has been and gone with a very well attended Junior School Swimming Carnival. All students were very enthusiastic in their cheering and it lead to an atmosphere that at times replicated a football match. Congratulations to Pennant who not only had the best cheers but also had the best swimmers which lead them to being the 2018 House Champions.
The Junior School Swim Team has been selected and they will now participate at the HICES Swimming Carnival on March 7. Congratulations to the following students:
Boys: Chase Appleroth, Ethan Drew, Jaiden Farmilo, Benjamin Franks-Bugeja, Connor Hendriks, William Ilioski, Joshua-Patrick Murphy, Harrison Reeves, Anthony Saadie
Girls: Noura Agale, Ella Appleroth, Rebecca Faust, Sophie Franks-Bugeja, Florentine Gates, Mikaela Huynh, Jemima-Audrey Murphy, Gemma Stanbury, Della Webb
