St Francis Swimming Carnival

On Thursday November 9, the St Francis students from Years 3 - 6 dove into the pool to compete in their annual school swimming carnival.

There was a lot of fierce competition in and out of the pool as students competed for individual points, house points and spirit points.

The Gold Rubber Duckies (Xavier), The Red Rescuers (Champagnat) and The Samaritan Sand Crabs (Samaritan) all showed great sportsmanship as they cheered for their winners and encouraged those students trying their very best in the pool.

The overall winners of the day were The Red Rescuers (Champagnat), winning by only 55 points, while The Samaritan Sand Crabs took out the Spirit Trophy for their enthusiasm and cheering for their house throughout the day.

The day ended with some fun novelty events for those students who were not yet waterlogged.

It was a lovely day out at the pool for everyone involved.
