Cairns SHS Inter-House Swimming Carnival, which will be held on Friday 12 September 2025, as part of our school’s sporting program.
While this is a normal school day, all students will attend the event at the pool, and no scheduled lessons will take place. The focus of the carnival is on participation, wellbeing, fun, and team spirit. While competitive swimmers will have the opportunity to compete for medals and age champion honours, all students are encouraged to join in a variety of participation and novelty events throughout the day.
Students are encouraged to dress in their house colours (in appropriate attire), get involved in as many events as possible, and enjoy the spirit of this whole-school event.
Parent attendance is welcomed. Please bring your own chair, as seating is limited, and ensure you check in with CSHS staff upon arrival at the venue.
