High School Swimming Carnival

High School Swimming Carnival results

Finally, some long overdue ‘fun in the sun’ at the Des Renford Aquatic Centre as the High School managed to have our first full carnival since 2019.

Students and staff certainly appreciated the chance to participate in a ‘COVID-safe’ event and glorious weather and mellow Shabbat tunes emanating from the speakers between race announcements helped to create a magical day.

Some excellent performances in the pool – a special congratulations to our 2021 age champions:
