Thursday 6 February saw the carnival year begin with a Senior School Swimming Carnival on another hot day at HBF Stadium.

As we’ve come to expect, our students displayed competitiveness and class. Overall we enjoyed an improved participation with student trying to maximise their scores for their House. Personal bests, new records and excellent participation in novelty events were the hallmarks of the day.

An incredible 18 records were broken by six students with some a genuine chance to stand the test of time. Congratulations to our record holders for setting elite standards and giving the future students of St James’ some lofty targets to aspire to.

We saw extremely close finishes for the Champions and Runner Up awards with several decided by countback and some simply too close to split and being awarded joint honours.
