Deniliquin High School students made a splash at their annual swimming carnival on Wednesday, with a day full of friendly competition, colour and plenty of fun at the Deniliquin Swimming Pool.

Students competed in a range of swimming races and relays throughout the day, while novelty events kept the atmosphere light-hearted and entertaining. Many embraced the carnival spirit by dressing in bright costumes or proudly wearing their house colours.

Beyond the competition, students cooled off in the splashpark, relaxed with friends and cheered on their teammates from the sidelines.

The Year 12 cohort kept everyone well fed and entertained, running a barbecue and stepping up as DJs to provide a lively soundtrack for the day.

One of the biggest highlights was an energetic dodgeball match in the middle pool, which saw students take on teachers in a contest that drew plenty of laughs and loud support.

The carnival provided a great opportunity for students and staff to come together, show their house pride and enjoy a memorable summer day by the pool.
