The pool area was a noisy and colourful scene streamers and flags filling up the room.
Children were excited to earn points for their teams with great participation in all events.
There were many outstanding achievements but of particular interest was the fact many students attempted the longer events and were excited to finish their first ever 50-metre event.
A very close pointscore between the teams helped to build the cheering but it was Brendan (Red) who finally came out on top with an 11 point victory over Patrick (Green) followed by Marcellin (Blue) and McAuley (Yellow).
Age Champions were:
Senior Boy: Hayden Forner
Senior Girl: Samantha Tam and Lucy Tagliapietra
11Year Boy: Mason Salvestro
11 Year Girl: Emmerson Waide
Junior Boy: Aiden Trotter & Jack Beltrame
Junior Girl: Aida Wiseman
A squad of 42 swimmers have been selected to participate in the MIA Deanery Swimming Carnival on Friday, February 17 to gain selection to the next level.
