CTK Swimming Carnival
After covid cancellations, we were finally able to conduct our 2022 Swimming Carnival, at a new venue – Melville Aquatic Centre in Booragoon on Tuesday, 18 October. The Indoor Centre was ideal and the staff went out of their way to ensure a wonderful day was had by the children. Donovan House leapt out of the blocks and never looked back, winning with 394 points, followed by Milne (275), McTavish (255) and De Vialar (250). Individual medallists were: Florence, Ella, Raph, Savannah, Riley, Oscar, Patrice, Dominique, Bailey, Antionette, Bailen, Taj, Finn, Jamie, Emma, Ahlia, Leo, Logan, Daniel, Maya, Tom C, Liam, Noah, Monique, Tom D, Maverick, Jaida.
ASCS Athletics Carnival
The Athletics Carnival was held at Len Shearer Reserve. All schools are handicapped due to numbers, and CTK finished 6th overall. Congratulations to Savannah Blackwood who received a Silver Medal and Patrice Maguire finished in 3rd place overall.
The biggest positive about the day was that the kids had fun.
