A busy start to the year with both the major carnivals occurring in Term 1. 

Swimming

Our first major event, saw us move the Swimming Carnival from Dickson Pool to the Civic Olympic Pool on Friday 16 February. The pool was full of colour, flare and excitement as students from all Houses gathered for the annual Swimming Carnival and the competitive spirit was in full view. This year's themes saw an array of imaginative costumes with students dressing up as ‘tradies’, knights, and purple royals. Amongst the spirited competition, the coveted title of Swimming Championship House was claimed by Van Thuan, while their enthusiasm also earned them the Swimming Spirit House Cup.

Athletics: A Thrilling Venture at AIS Track and Field

Athletics reached new heights as students showcased their speed and skill at the prestigious AIS track and field venue. Despite the location change, the competitive spirit burned bright, with Kennedy emerging as the triumphant House. In a historic moment, Drexel and Kennedy shared the limelight as joint Spirit House winners, the first time in our school's history we have had joint winners.

We also saw the first JPC bolt run which featured the fastest 8 students in the College.

AGE CHAMPIONS - ATHLETICS

ACT School Tennis Championships

Our first sporting gala day was the ACT School Tennis Championships. Two outstanding students, Sean Blakely-Kidd and Finnley Blaik, demonstrated their prowess on the court. Sean's exceptional performance saw him reaching the finals of the constellation bracket, and Finnley making it to the third round, showcasing their dedication and skill.

ASC Touch

The field was set for an exhilarating display of athleticism as five teams competed in the fiercely contested ASC Touch Football tournament. Held at the Deakin playing fields, the 5 teams played with passion and teamwork in each game. It was great to see that we continue to build the sport at JPC and continue to match the competitive spirit across all sports with all teams making the playoffs, showing that we are improving each year.

ACT Waterpolo Gala Day

The College Waterpolo team went out to represent JPC in the Mixed College Day, held at CISAC Pool. Eight students rose to the challenge of competing in several games with only one substitute player. The team did not win any games but they won a lot of admiration from the other teams and their coaches and supporters with unfailing good humour and genuine congratulations to all the winning teams after each game. The College would also like to thank Mr Mark Miller who has supported Mrs Kinnane at a number of these days and this was his final one having a child at JPC.
