There are three main sporting carnivals held during the year.
The Swimming Carnival is held early in Term 1 at Swansea Swimming Pool. It features both fun and competitive events for students in each age group.
The Cross Country Carnival is held at the beginning of Term 2 with a course along the bush behind the school. This event is organised as a fun run / cross country competition.
The Athletics Carnival is held at the end of Term 1 on the high school grounds. It involves a full day for the whole school. All students are encouraged to participate in both official and novelty events with the focus on participation and enjoyment.
From these carnivals our top athletes are provided opportunities of representing the school at either Zone, Regional or State CHS (Combined High Schools) competitions. Swansea High has an impressive record of achievements at these championships.
