Werribee Campus
"On Monday 17th February, our fastest swimmers travelled to Werribee Outdoor Pool for the Hoppers Crossing District Swimming Carnival, competing in all strokes over 25m and 50m distances. It was a highly successful day, with Heathdale continuing its winning streak as overall champions, and most students earning first, second or third-place ribbons. Many students progressed to the next round in individual events, along with all our relay teams.
Building on this success, our Werribee campus swim champions returned to the pool on Thursday 6th March for the Division Finals for Wyndham, competing in nearly every event, including all relays. Many placed in the top three, and those finishing in the top two will advance to the regional finals in Geelong in April, including Alexandro, Holly, Claire, Natalie (freestyle), Kyra, Emma (breaststroke), Noah R, Mandy (backstroke), and Claire (butterfly). All girls' relay teams qualified, while the boys' teams finished second, just missing regional qualification, making it a fantastic day for our swimmers."

Melton Campus
"Our Primary District Swim Team secured second place at the District Swimming Carnival on Monday 3rd March, at Melton Waves. After achieving this milestone for the first time last year, it was thrilling to see our small but mighty campus match the feat again. Almost all squad members took home at least one ribbon, with a total of nine 1sts, nine 2nds and seven 3rds!
Riding this momentum, our District winners advanced to the next stage of competition: Division. Facing strong competition from Macedon Ranges powerhouses Braemar College and Bacchus Marsh Grammar, our swimmers put in a phenomenal effort. Special congratulations to Bella Z (11 Girls Breaststroke) and Tanjira R (12 Girls Freestyle), who both placed 3rd in their events!"
