Firstly, I just wanted to again say a big thank you to all who made the 2022 Swimming Faction Carnival run as efficiently as possible.
To the parents for helping with the timing and to the teachers for all playing their roles, whether it be starting, announcing, or looking after students in the bays. No job is bigger than the other, and without your help, the day simply wouldn’t go ahead. Thank you.
To the students, thank you for all of your efforts once again. Whether you came 1st, 4th or 6th in your race, as long as you gave all races your best shot, then that is all we can ask for. I was also immensely proud of the way our students supported each other on the day.
We would like to apologise again for the mistake with some of the medals. We will congratulate and acknowledge the correct students on Thursday, we do understand though that mistakes like these are always disappointing for our students and families and we will be putting a procedure into place to ensure this does not happen again.

Interschool Swimming Team 2021
The following is the Interschool Swim Team for 2022. I am at this stage still working on filling all of the events. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me.
Please click the link below to find out what race your child is in. The Interschool Swimming Carnival will take place on Monday, 24th October at HBF Stadium. I will release more details closer to the time of the carnival.
It is an expectation and requirement that all students who have selected for the Interschool Swim Squad wear the correct St Dominic’s School bathers and swimming cap. Caps will be available on the day for the students to wear and St Dominic’s School bathers are available for purchase from the uniform shop.

Interschool Swimming Training 2022
Swimming training will be held at Scarborough Swimming Pool only on the following date from 7:30-8:15am. Currently, we have only been able to secure 2 lanes at Scarborough Pool, so I ask that only students in the Interschool Swimming Team attend these sessions. I am currently working with Scarborough Pool to secure more lanes. Dates for training are as follows: Thursday, 20th October.
Parents will be required to cover the cost of entry ($4.50) at Scarborough Pool if they wish for their child to participate in training. A staff member from St Dominic’s will be on hand to supervise the children for each session. It will be up to the parents to ensure students are dressed in the correct school uniform and transported back to school.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
