It was so wonderful to have our students return in high numbers to Lilydale Pool for the annual MLMC Swimming Carnival on Friday 25 February.
Year 7-9 students splashed, walked and swam in the 50m pool or pulled on the rope in the hotly-contested House tug-of-war competitions to earn valuable House points through the morning. With an emphasis on participation, it was great to see so many of our students get into the spirit of the carnival. The Participation Relay saw the water being churned more than in a washing machine, with inflatables and teamwork helping swimmers of all abilities get to the end of the pool and repeat the effort over five minutes.
Maguire House Prefect Byron Foster took out the House Prefects inflatable race that kicked off the action in the pool at the start of the day and he repeated the effort to start the Barak Campus events after lunchtime. There was plenty of colour in the pool and on the pool deck with the Student Leadership Team dressing in a variety of interesting costumes in their House colours while encouraging all students to do their best..
Carr House earned the most points on the day. Well done, Carr House.
The best of the swimmers throughout the day earned qualification for the EISM Swimming Carnival. Read more about how they went HERE.
