It was a day to remember at last year’s Ingham High School Swimming Carnival, held in March 2024, where Hinchinbrook House showed off their dominance in the pool, securing the title of Interhouse Champions. The Devils put on a stellar performance, winning both the Girls’ and Boys’ events with impressive margins and taking home the Aggregate Shield by a staggering 600-point lead.
The final house standings saw Hinchinbrook at the top with an outstanding 1381 points, followed by Orpheus (790 points), Palm (783 points), and Fantome (629 points). The result was a clear indication of Hinchinbrook's strength and teamwork, with all participants giving their best effort throughout the day.
The success of the carnival was not only a testament to the students’ competitive spirit but also to the incredible support of the wider school community. A big thank you goes to Sport Coordinator Mr. Michael Hoyle, the Sport House Captains, and the wonderful canteen volunteers who made the event run smoothly. Their hard work and dedication helped ensure a fun and successful day for all involved.
A special mention also goes to the Hinchinbrook Aquatic Centre for hosting the event and to all the community volunteers whose contributions were integral to the carnival’s success.
