Annual Sport Events
Interhouse Carnivals
There are three major Interhouse Carnivals conducted throughout the year: Swimming (The Sr Mary Murray Cup), Cross-Country (Fr Gaetan Pereira Cup) and Athletics (Fr Kevin King Championship Cup). These sports activities have an educational benefit for all students and serve to develop their determination, physical skills and coordination, as well as their sense of belonging, House spirit and cooperation with staff and peers. These carnivals cater for all students through incorporating both competitive and non-competitive (novelty) activities. They also serve as a process for selection in the College's representative teams in these sports.
