Preparatory School Swimming Carnival – Years 3 to 6

Friday 14 November

The Preparatory School Swimming Carnival is always a highlight of the Westminster calendar, bringing together our Year 3 to 6 students for a day of teamwork, enthusiasm and fun in the pool.

Held at the School’s Aquatic Centre, the carnival celebrates participation, effort and School spirit. Students will compete in a variety of races and novelty events, earning points for their House while cheering on their friends throughout the day.
