On Thursday, 6th March, we hosted our exciting Interhouse Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium. It was fantastic to see a high number of students participating in both the 50m events and novelty races, all working hard to earn points for their house. A special shout-out goes to Olivia Mallabone and Imogen George for their outstanding support and dedication.
The relays brought incredible energy to the stadium, with houses like Premontre and Kilnacrott leading the charge with their chants and musical instruments. The Staff vs Student Relay was a highlight, featuring two extra student teams who faced off against Mrs Marsden, Mrs Robinson, Miss Anderson and Mr Roberts — a truly memorable race!
A huge congratulations to Magdeburg, led by Mr Ah Fong, for winning the Spirit Bear for the second year in a row. The competition for 1st and 2nd place was incredibly tight, with only 150 points separating the top two houses. After an intense battle, Xanten emerged victorious, claiming back-to-back titles with a score of 5693. Well done to all the participants and winners!
The 2025 Inter-house Swimming Carnival was an outstanding start to the school year, filled with great teamwork, spirit, and sportsmanship.
Here are the final standings:
1st – Xanten – 5693
2nd – Tongerlo – 5517
3rd – Magdeburg – 5385
