Burdekin Christian College Swimmers Make Waves At Interschool Carnival

Burdekin Christian College may have sent a small team to this year’s Burdekin Interschool Swim Carnival, but their impact in the pool was anything but small.

With just eight determined students, Team BCC showed up with courage, heart, and incredible sportsmanship—proving once again that it’s not the size of the team, but the strength of the spirit that counts.

From strong finishes to cheerful sideline support, students gave it their all and proudly represented the College in every event.
