District Swimming Carnival

The Hinterland Green District Swimming Carnival was held on Monday 20 January at TSS. Hillcrest was represented by 30 students in Years 4-12, with many students being unavailable for the carnival due to the State Nippers Carnival in Harvey Bay. Despite this, the team that travelled to Districts competed at a high standard with all students pushing their personal best achievements.

By the end of the carnival, four students progressed through to the Regional Swimming Carnival to be held next week. Special mention goes to Gideon Burnes who continued his exceptional Interhouse Carnival by blitzing all competitors in the breaststroke event, breaking one Meet Record by over 10 seconds.

We would like to thank all students for their enthusiasm and for representing Hillcrest with such high distinction. A very special thanks to Mr Hauch, Ms Cooper and Mr Pauly for encouraging the students throughout the day, along with all parents who came to assist with the team.

The next major carnival for Hillcrest will be the Interhouse Cross Country Carnival, to be held on the last Wednesday of this Term. We look forward to seeing all students and as many parents at this event as we can.
