Kicking off the Inter-House Carnivals at Elphin, students in Years 3–5 enjoyed a great day at the Aquatics Centre at the ELphin Inter-House Swimming. The day was filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and an incredible display of school spirit.

One of the highlights of the carnival was seeing our College Value of Courage on full display. Many students bravely stepped out of their comfort zones to compete in events, try new races, or get involved for the first time.

The atmosphere throughout the venue was electric. Our Year 12 students led the way, proudly chanting and cheering for their Houses, creating a strong sense of unity and friendly competition. Their leadership and enthusiasm lifted the spirits of everyone in attendance and contributed to the vibrant carnival atmosphere.

Thank you to the staff who worked hard to create an environment where everyone was encouraged to join in, have fun, and celebrate their achievements.

Final results for the day saw Fox take first place, followed by Dean, Nance and Briggs.

Congratulations to Jagger Liu (Year 4, Fox) who broke two College records, 50m Freestyle – old record: 35.92 (2014), new record: 34.92 (2026), and 25m Backstroke – old record: 20.03 (2016), new record: 18.88 (2026).
