It was a moment to remember at this week’s College Assembly – Arcadia House has officially won the 2025 Swimming Carnival Shield!

This achievement marks a significant milestone for Arcadia House. Our students turned out in impressive numbers, demonstrating that when we work together as a team, incredible things happen. This victory is the result of outstanding House spirit, participation, and determination. It was hard not to shout with joy during Assembly!

To celebrate, we will be holding a sausage sizzle once Year 10, 11, and 12 exams are complete – a well-deserved, relaxed opportunity to come together and acknowledge our success.

In addition to our Swimming Carnival win, Arcadia House also placed third in the recent Cross-Country Carnival. Another fantastic effort – congratulations to all involved!

After nine years as Head of House, this is the first time Arcadia has claimed a carnival victory. While we’ve often come close with strong second-place finishes, this win is particularly meaningful and something we’ll remember for years to come.

A heartfelt thank you to our students, families, and staff for your continued support, enthusiasm, and energy. It’s a privilege to be part of such a passionate and united community. We look forward to the celebrations – and to the many successes still to come.

With pride and gratitude,

Santie Brink
Head of Arcadia House
