Swimming Carnival

Three new Swimming Carnival Champions have risen from the waters of Melton Waves following the annual campus carnivals last week!

Melton Campus

Melton students took to the pool on Thursday vying for House points in a series of swim styles and novelty events. Several Houses took the lead at different points of the day, but after tough competition, Bernard House claimed the overall title, followed closely by Lawrence and Dominic.

The final results for the Melton Campus are as follows:

1^st place – Bernard House

2^nd place – Lawrence House

3^rd place – Dominic House

4^th place – Bakhita House

5^th place – Glowrey House

6^th place – MacKillop House

7^th place – Anthony House

8^th place – Catherine House

Members of the Year 12 cohort ended the day on a high with an interestingly choreographed synchronised swim, featuring participants from all eight Houses combined.

Cobblebank Campus

The following day, Cobblebank students battled for the prestigious House Cup by competing in a variety of strokes and novelty events. Catherine House had a solid lead throughout the day, with MacKillop House not far behind them.

In the afternoon, it all came down to the Tube Relay to decide the winner. In an unexpected turn of events, both Catherine House and Mackillop House were on equal points! They took the win together after an incredible display of hard work and competition.

The final results for the Cobblebank Campus are as follows:

1^st place: Catherine & MacKillop House

2^nd place: Anthony House

3^rd place: Dominic House

4^th place: Lawrence House

5^th place: Bakhita House

6^th place: Bernard House

7^th place: Glowrey House

House Spirit was at an all-time high. Each House marquee was bursting with colour – students dressed in creative House-themed outfits and decorated their areas with streamers, handmade banners and balloons.

House Spirit Awards

Despite stellar efforts from all Houses, there could only be one House Spirit winner from each campus – congratulations to Lawrence House (Melton campus) and Catherine House (Cobblebank Campus), winners of the 2025 House Spirit Shields.

Thank you to all the staff who worked exceptionally hard to make the carnival a success and to all the students who participated – we look forward to making next year’s event bigger and better!
