Friday December 2 saw the Middle and Senior School descend upon HBF Arena to compete in the Inter House Swimming Carnival for 2016. This carnival marks the beginning of the Champion House points allocation for 2017 so the atmosphere was one of optimism and excitement as the first event commenced.
The engagement and participation from the students was excellent. Races were competitive and the support from the House Bays was extremely vociferous.
Students who were unable to swim were put to work with roles in either catering or official carnival roles. These roles were carried out with aplomb.
By the end of the Carnival, an all day battle between Ozanamand McCormack was finally settled with Ozanam prevailing by the extremely small margin of 24 points.
The final placing were as follows:
Ozanam 1378
McCormack 1354
Salvado 1078
Frayne 793

The initial squad for the ACC Swimming Carnival will be announced in Week One of 2017 and we look forward to the commitment and effort from these students, similar to what we saw at the beginning of this year.
A final thank you to the College staff who contribute to making this event a successful one for the students and to the parents who volunteered their time to perform official roles during the day.
