“Last Friday was an excellent day of competition across all age groups. While the numbers in the carnival were reduced to work within government guidelines, the atmosphere amongst students and spectators was one of encouragement and support. As a College we were thrilled to be able to invite parents and grandparents to join us at the poolside and there was lots of cheering from the sidelines affirming strong efforts in the pool. I would like to thank the College community for being so supportive of this event.” Mrs Alesha Alcorn, Head of Middle School.
