Swimming Carnival 2025
St Paul’s College Swimming Carnival was held last Friday and was an enjoyable day for all in attendance. Year 12 students set an excellent example with their outstanding levels of participation throughout the day and also did a wonderful job feeding the masses.

The carnival was won by the outstanding MacKillop House who just edged out the gallant Farrelly House who won the Rusted Jug Participation Prize.

McAuley and Edmund Houses battled it out for the wooden spoon which was eventually claimed by our yellow friends and their feisty House Patron Mrs Jamie Phillips.

The level of support from the stands was something to behold and many swimmers grew the proverbial tail fin listening to the House chants as they battled through the water.

At least one of our current staff still holds a carnival record from many years past, showing that time doesn’t always catch up with you! While Mrs Tess Meehan and Mr Graham Bramley kept the crowd entertained by virtue of a 1990’s music play list and the quality of crowd participation in the ‘Mackarena’ on the pool deck was reminiscent of the good old days.

We wish all of our students attending the Lismore Diocese Swimming Championships next Thursday the very best of luck and encourage you to do St Paul’s College proud.
