2024 Interhouse Swimming Carnival

In 2024 we will be merging the U9-12 and U13-18 Swimming Carnivals into one event. This carnival will be held on Friday 2 February (Term 1, Week 2). This new event will provide greater school and house spirit along with interactions amongst a broader range of students. It will allow for a more efficient schedule and increase the excitement and overall quality of the day. The 2024 House Captains and Prefects have begun planning for this carnival.
