Fitness was the focus at the Carramar Secondary Swim Camp, with students alternating between swimming and circuit work to strengthen their skills. The group also trained in the open water at Mullaloo Beach and Hillary’s, making the most of the local facilities and the glorious weather!
13 of Carramar’s finest cricketers, led by captain Rajit Bose and group leaders Oliver Williams, Munish Senghani and Milan Dabasia (Year 12), recently competed for the Graeme Wood 20/20 Shield. Despite not taking out the win on the day, the boys played exceptionally well, with Harry Klemm (Year 11) hitting some huge sixes and Ronan Fitzgerald (Year 10) bowling well and taking some great catches. Well done boys!
