Campbell Primary School 2021 Swimming Carnival
Campbell Primary School 2021 Swimming Carnival
On Friday 5 March, Campbell Primary School staff and students made the annual trip to CISAC in Belconnen for the spectacular 2021 Swimming Carnival.
Newly elected house captains were given a chance to shine - decorating their house areas and leading their houses in spirited (and very loud) cheers for competitors in the races.
Students from Kindergarten and Year 1 were the first to try out the smaller pools, waterslide and wet play activities and had a wonderful time enjoying all the facilities on offer. While the juniors took the chance to play, the older students got the racing underway with all students who participated in races to be commended for their efforts – 50m is a long way! Every student who entered races won points for their houses, while those cheering in the stands also accumulated house points for spirit and sportsmanship. Once the junior students had departed it was the Year 2-6’s turn to have some fun with the whirlpool, slide and ever popular noodle race giving an opportunity for all to have a giggle and splash a staff member (or six). The serious races continued throughout with some excellent results in the backstroke, breaststroke and 100m freestyle recorded.
Our swimming carnival would not have been the tremendous success that it was without the help of a lot of very important people. To the team of parent volunteers who were able to assist us on the day with timekeeping, marshalling and a range of other activities, we extend a heartfelt thanks. We would also like to thank the dedicated team from CISAC who helped deliver activities and ensure the safety of everyone in the facility. Our wonderful students need to be acknowledged as well! Their safe and respectful choices were not only noticed but commended by all at CISAC on Friday - well done!
We are so proud of our school community and loved the opportunity to show just how special Campbell Primary is. The winning house will be announced in the coming days, with ribbons for the competitive events to be presented at Yumma in the coming weeks.
We look forward to our next big event, the Campbell Primary Cross Country, in Term 2.
