During week 3, 14th February, WHS held the annual Swimming Carnival and I am very happy to announce that BARTON won the carnival!
Barton – 175
Norman – 162
McLeod – 151
Taylor – 116
It was one the closest house point results in the past few years. I would like to congratulate the students of Barton house and especially the house captains Kaneesha Staggs, Mason Dutfield, Mattison Quarman and Scott Tailby on their efforts throughout the day. Looking forward to see all of the houses compete at the other carnivals throughout the year.
There was approximately 150 students that attended the day and there was a lot of tough racing. Special mention needs to go to Samantha Thompson broke the 12/13 years 200m freestyle record (2:41:84) that had stood since 1995 set by Peta Haesler (2:42:47). What an amazing achievement!
For each age group students were allocated points for participation in any event. Once all of the calculations were completed the following students were awarded Age Champions. Great effort!

I would like to thank all the families and community members that came to the WHS Swimming Carnival. Also Wellington Swimming Club for the use of their equipment and last but certainly not least the team at the Wellington Pool.
Best of luck to Samantha Thompson and Heavenly Dwyer for making it through to the Western School Sport Association (WSSA) Swimming trials coming up later this term.
