February 23, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not even COVID precautions could suppress the fun and competition at the recent St Mary\u2019s Catholic College swimming carnival.<\/p>\n

The carnival was held at the\u00a0WJ Lang Memorial Olympic Pool in Kingaroy with social distancing in place and restrictions on the number of students competing.<\/p>\n

Swimmers aged 10 years and over who could confidently swim 50 metres were invited to take part.<\/p>\n

There was keen competition between the three Houses, with students keen to swim to earn house points just by participating.<\/p>\n

It was principal Carmel O\u2019Brien’s first College swimming carnival in Kingaroy as the 2020 event was cancelled – firstly due to storms, and then because of COVID.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a great day for our College community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSt Mary\u2019s students seem to really know how create some serious and competitive House spirit while at the same time showing terrific sportsmanship and having some fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final scores were close, with Quinn taking out the House Shield:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Quinn – 540 points<\/li>\n
  2. Polding – 505 points<\/li>\n
  3. Rush – 472 points<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
