Thank you Shelby Porter and Belle Davis for the below excerpt from your Swimming Carnival Report presented today.

At the start of March, QHS held their swimming carnival, our first full school event since COVID struck 12 months ago.

The carnival began with house captains and teachers setting up for the fun-filled day. House colours were worn with pride and team spirit was palpable

The first events saw all the eager swimmers participate and represent their houses, with everyone cheering for the swimmers.

Fun events were popular o the day. Many students participated in these with a bright smile on their faces and shared a laugh with their friends.

There were many great performances throughout the day. Bella Pollard showed her talent by smashing out 5 records.

The teachers even managed a number of relays and they definitely gave everyone a run for their money.

Lunch time was once again characterised by some free-swimming time, and the hosting of the much-anticipated annual Belly-Flop competition with Charlie Parsons proving the victor.

The house war cries, bellyflop, Year 12 Inflatables race and the Weirdest and Wackiest dressers proved loads of fun.

The day could not have been as successful as it was, were it not for the huge contribution of various people throughout, and leading up to, the carnival and every student that turned up on the day to experience a great school event.

In no time at all we’ll be preparing for our Athletics Carnival that happens in Term 2.

Congratulations to all and thank you to the Official Party and to Mr Chambers for your coordination at the Swim Carnival and today and to the SRC Coordinators, Mrs and Mr Owen.
