2010 Inter-house Swimming Carnival
On Wednesday 17 February, Oxley College will hold the annual Inter-House Swimming Carnival at Mittagong Pool. The Carnival is an integral part of the Inter-House competition and is always very popular with the students.
Students will have the opportunity to swim in numerous events and at the conclusion of the carnival - the Oxley College Swim Team is selected. This team will compete at the St Andrew's Invitational Carnival, Southern Highlands Twilight Carnival, and the ISA Swimming Championships at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre.
Oodgeroo are once again favorites to win the coveted House Champion Trophy after being crowned Champions for the past two years, however all houses are keen to cause an upset.
On the day, students must arrive at school for roll call and then they will be transported to Mittagong Pool by bus. Students are encouraged to wear house colours whilst remembering good sun safe practices. Parents are most welcome to come and cheer and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere which occurs at the swimming carnival.

The students’ participation was outstanding with many races having up to 5 heats in each age group. Florey House astounded everyone by taking the title from firm favorites Oodgeroo by 82 points. This is the first time that Florey has won the swimming trophy since 1992. The format of the day included the popular swim through where all students had the opportunity to gain valuable participation points for their house.
