The College Swimming Carnival will be held at the Bendigo East Aquatic Centre, 31 Lansell Street, East Bendigo on Monday 24 March 2025. (Previously cancelled on Wednesday 12 February 2025)

All students will travel to and from the Swimming Carnival by bus, departing the College following morning Homeroom and returning in time for normal dismissal. Parents will NOT be able to drop off students at the pool in the morning - students need to be at the College for Homeroom as per a normal school day. The roll will then be marked.

Please ensure that your student's medical profile is completed otherwise you will not be able to give permission for this Swimming Carnival.

Parents/Guardians/Carers and visitors may attend the Swimming Carnival.

If it is imperative that Parents/Guardians/Carers need to collect their student at the completion of the Swimming Carnival, they must advise via PAM prior to the day. Parents must sign their student out at the First Aid Station at the end of the Carnival, a staff member will be available to sign out your child. No students will be able to leave the Swimming Carnival without a PAM notification. Due to the complexity of students having to be marked off rolls on the buses at the end of the day, your assistance is required in this matter.

Students are required to wear FULL PE Uniform to and from school. House Captains and Year 12 students may wear fancy dress in their House colours to the pool. Students are also required to wear a hat/cap, sunscreen and shirt that covers their shoulders when not competing in events. Girls are to be in one-piece bathers or wear a rashie vest. Boys are to wear racing bathers or water shorts suitable for swimming.

Students are to bring snacks, lunch and water or money to purchase lunch from the pool canteen.
