The Senior School (Years 9 to 12) Inter-House Swimming Carnival will take place on Wednesday 5 February at Perth High Performance Centre (previously HBF Stadium).

Students should arrive by 8.30am. The first event is scheduled for 9am and the day finishes at 1pm. 

There will be no classes in the afternoon. 

There will be no sport training for Years 9 to 12 students in the afternoon unless instructed by coaches. Training in the morning is as per usual.

Each student can only swim in two individual events, one freestyle relay and one novelty relay, with the focus of this event on participation.

Students are required to wear Scotch bathers or blue PE shorts. They may also wear a Scotch rash vest if they wish. They will not be allowed to swim if they do not have the correct clothing.

There are no false starts with students simply being disqualified at the end of the race should they break at the start.

Sunscreen will be provided for each House and students are encouraged to wear a Scotch hat and to apply sunscreen before they arrive at Perth HPC. There is limited shade for spectators so parents and friends attending the carnival should bring a hat and apply sunscreen as well as stay hydrated. Parents are not permitted onto the pool deck.

Day students are expected to make their own way to Perth HPC. Those arriving by car should be dropped off at the drop-off zone on the west side of the venue.

Buses will depart from the bus bay on Shenton Road at 8.15am for students who have training before school and for all boarders.

Entry is from the McGillivray Oval side of Perth HPC and parents are required to pay an entrance fee of $2.60.

Parents wishing to park and enter with their children should park in Carparks 3 (west side of venue) and 4 (south side of venue). Carpark 2 (west grassed area) will also be open to help limit congestion.

Students may go home at the conclusion of the carnival from Perth HPC. Buses will transport any students back to school if they are not able to travel home from the venue. Those students returning to school have the option to undertake private study in the BRC until 3.25pm, where they will be supervised for the afternoon.
