College Swimming Carnival
A spectacular day was gifted for our 39th College Swimming carnival. Once again our students proudly represented their houses and College in a multitude of events. The highlights of this year’s carnival was the high level of participation in the races, particularly the junior age groups and the outstanding behaviour of our students. In a COVID riddled year, all of us had to adjust to restricted areas, modified parent involvement and a changed format to the novelty events. Despite these measures, all had a wonderful day.
The results of the carnival are as follows:

A massive thank you to all the staff who made the day possible and for the excellent attitude and participation of our students. The 2021 SJPC Swimming carnival was successful on many fronts.
Congratulations
- Congratulations to Logan Lacey who has been awarded a 3 year League scholarship with the NRL Bulldogs. He will remain at home, continuing to attend SJPC and play in the local League. Logan will complete a Bulldogs Apprenticeship where he will travel to Sydney to stay at Belmore House, work within the community, train with my age group and with the NRL Squad. This is an outstanding achievement for an up and coming talent in League.
- Congratulations to all our students who are heading to Sydney to complete in the NSW State Lifesaving Championships. We have multiple students representing their clubs from Woolgoolga to Nambucca. We wish them all the best over the next two weekends.
- We have had a number of students across many year levels selected to attend the Diocesan Touch Football, Diocesan Football and Diocesan League trials. Congratulations and good luck to all our athletes over the next two weeks of trials.
