Fierce competition at WSC swimming sports

Warracknabeal Secondary College's Interhouse Swim Carnival was held on Tuesday, February 18, and was a fantastic day of competition, school spirit, and sunshine.

Under warm and sunny conditions, students turned out proudly donning their house colours of red, yellow, and blue.

Some even went the extra mile with creative costumes, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

The pool was the stage for some incredible races with plenty of nail-biting finishes and fierce competition.

A huge congratulations to all competitors who gave it their all, showcasing great sportsmanship and determination.

A special shoutout goes to our amazing student volunteer helpers, particularly the dedicated DISSC (Student Sport Committee) members—Sailor, Cody, Riley, Morgan, and Lilly—who arrived bright and early to help set up for the big day; as well as Evie and Keedie for getting around and taking some great photos of the day.

Our student house captains also did an outstanding job rallying their teams and ensuring everyone was ready to compete.

No carnival is complete without a sizzling barbecue, and a huge thank you goes to Mr Williamson and his VCE VM VPS WRS class for running it.

Donna and Cody entertained the troops during the lunchbreak with donut eating and apple bobbing, allowing non-swimmers to contribute to their house points tally.
