On Thursday the 14th of November St. Joseph’s Parish  School, Weipa celebrated its inaugural Twilight Swimming Carnival  at the Town Pool.

The children sat in their House Colours - Mission, Pine and Embley with their families and cheered for their class mates.  

Years Prep to Year 2 participated in Noodle Breaststroke/ Kickboard Backstroke and Freestyle races and Year 3 to 6 participated in 25m and 50m Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and optional Butterfly.

The Parents and Friends provided a BBQ for the students and their families. It was a fabulous night with a wonderful family and community vibe. 

All students participated with enthusiasm and demonstrated all the SEL Keys: 

Confidence, Persistence, Organisation, Resilience and Getting Along. 

A big Thank you to the P and F, Parent helpers in and out of the water, Teachers, School Officers, Life guards and WTA for a very successful night.
