New Champions Rise During 2017 Swimming Carnivals
The Forum Pool at the University of Newcastle played host again in 2017 to the Junior and Senior Swimming Carnivals.
JUNIOR SCHOOL REPORT: Charlton claimed the Junior School house championship this year, claiming the title from 2016 swimming champions Shortland. The competition was fantastic, starting early with the fancy dress, the house cheers and then the first races of the day in which swimmers could let those pre-race butterflies loose. The Junior School sport captains’ wrap up of the day is below. You can Click Here to see the Facebook Gallery of images taken at this year’s Junior Swimming carnival. Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came to the pull to cheer and support students in their races and their participation in the event.
The full results from the Swimming Carnival including Age Champions will be published on the Junior School Sport page shortly. Presentations to Age Champions will also be made during JS Chapel.
