Team Rafter take honours

St Andrew’s Anglican College has kicked off term one with their annual Secondary Swim Carnival with over 600 students from the college’s four houses taking part in 320 races.
The four houses, Rafter, Burkett, Williamson and Hocknull, gathered their troops last Tuesday at the Noosa Aquatic Centre for the big day.
St Andrew’s Director of Sport, Steve Robson, said the day was hot, but full of fun, quality swimming and most importantly, amazing house spirit.
“The support and cheering did not stop; the involvement was superb,” Mr Robson said.
“The day is owned by the students who make it what it is and it was terrific – congratulations to Rafter House who won the overall trophy for the second year in a row and to Williamson House who won the House Duck for spirit.”
Year 9 student Alek Taylor broke an 11-year-old freestyle record in the 15 years age group, setting a new time of 24:14 seconds.
Year 10 student Jayden Morrow also broke a seven-year-old freestyle record in the 16 years boys age group.
