Swimming Carnival
On Tuesday 2nd March, we hosted our annual Swimming Carnival at Croydon Memorial pool. Despite a cooler day than usual, it was amazing to see the level of participation in all events. The venue was flooded in a sea of blue, green, red and yellow. Each house was heavily represented in the events throughout the day. It was especially encouraging to see the incredible number of students in the walking lane, water polo and dance contests.  

Congratulations to all swimmers who participated and were awarded vital points for their house. We witnessed outstanding results with plenty of students taking away multiple blue ribbons and booking their spot in the 2021 Mooroolbark College swimming team.  

I would like to give a massive thank you to all staff who assisted with officiating, supervising and taking part in the events on the day. I look forward to our athletics and cross country carnivals later in the year.  

Division and Eastern Metropolitan Region Swimming
Well done to Tara Barnewall and Owen Wahrenberger who won multiple events at the division carnival and progressed through to the EMR event. Congratulations to the U15 relay team (Owen Wahrenberger, Liam Price, James Flewellen and Tommy Carroll) and U16 relay team (Tara Barnewall, Holly Waite, Rhianna Gray and Hannah Philpott) who also won their way through to EMR swimming.  

A special mention to Tara Barnewall who placed first in the 100m butterfly at EMR swimming and will be progressing through to the state event.
