Werribee Outdoor Pool was the venue once again for the Annual College Swimming Carnival in Term 1. Swimmers had signed up to swim events in Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly over 25 and 50 metres while for non-swimmers, there were other activities like water polo, volleyball and land novelties. We were greeted with a bright, warm, sunny day and filled the venue with splashes of Blue, Red, Yellow and Green to represent our houses.
The water polo is always one of the most popular events and once again was hotly contested and lots of fun. This was closely followed by volleyball. Year 9 students in particular making this a serious competition with digs, sets and spikes being used to win points across the day.
In the Main pool, the swimmers had their chance to show their talents. Many strong performances were on show with successful students now being selected to represent our College at the SACCSS swimming carnival at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre on April 4. Good luck to the SACCSS team in the last week of term.
Thank you to all that got involved, dressed in house colours, swam events, cheered on their peers and took part in another community building carnival at CRC Caroline Springs. Congratulations to O’Reilly for taking out the Shield in 2023!
