Calendar

This year, we were unfortunately unable to secure our usual venue, Dickson Swimming Pool, for the school swimming carnival. As a result, the event will instead be held at Gungahlin Leisure Centre.

Due to capacity limitations at this venue, we regret to inform you that this year’s swimming carnival will be limited to competitive swimmers 8 years and older only. Non-competitive events will not be able to run as part of the carnival.  In lieu of this, the school will be offering students the opportunity to participate in a Water Fun Day at a later date. Further information regarding this event will be communicated shortly.
