On Friday the 23rd of February it was the swimming carnival and everyone walked down to the pool with their classes. The first race started at 10:00 with the 5/6 freestyle followed by the 3/4 freestyle. This led into backstroke and breaststroke and finally butterfly. The participation for the swimming carnival this year was awesome and the grade 2s came down to watch  given they will be swimming next year. This year the barbeque was run by the Lions Club and everyone was so grateful. Just before the presentations the teachers versus girls versus boys relay commenced.
