On Friday 8 March, students from across Years 7 – 12 participated in the SJC Swimming Carnival at Kardinia Aquatic Centre. There was a slight change to normal programming this year, with all Year 7 students attending the carnival and students from Years 8 – 12 who elected to swim involved in the afternoon finals session. The morning session gave all Year 7 students an opportunity to participate in all four swimming strokes and qualify for the finals in the afternoon. It was fantastic to see all Year 7 students participate in their first SJC Swimming Carnival and show high levels of house spirit.
The afternoon session was fast-paced with a number of high-quality swimmers putting on a show for the spectating crowd of parents, students, and staff. The Mitchell Classic was one of the closest finishes that had been seen in recent years, with Year 9 student Liam Walker taking out the overall honours. The house points competition was a close affair with Foley House coming out on top, over a fast-finishing Jordan, Brophy, and Butler. All students should be commended on their high level of enthusiasm and efforts across the day, in both participating and in support of their peers. The ACC Swimming Carnival will be held at MSAC Aquatic Centre on Wednesday 27 March, and we wish all students involved good luck and thank them for representing the College.
