Interschool Swimming Carnival 2019
On Monday 18 March select students from Year 7 to 12 participated in the Interschool Swimming Carnival for 2019 at HBF Stadium. Competition was fierce with standout performances by the following students in the Individual Championships for their respective year levels:
- Rebekah Lakay (3rd, Year 7 girls),
- Karsten Yap (2nd, Year 8 boys),
- William Horton (2nd, Year 10 boys), and
- Ella Najjar (3rd, Year 10 girls).
The College finished 5th on the points table at the conclusion of the day which was a great effort against some other larger competitive schools. Special thanks and congratulations to Kate Najjar who swam above her age group all day (Year 8 to Year 10) to ensure the team had enough for a relay and also managed to win her division 50m freestyle event. All students who participated worked together as a team to ensure we filled every event with a swimmer. Congratulations to all John Forrest swimmers. – Mr Jericho (Acting HPE HoLA)
