Manilla Central School Newsletter K-12 Newsletter No 3 Monday, 18th February, 2019 Secondary – Phone: 67 851 184, Fax: 67 852 138 Primary – Phone: 67 851 599, Fax: 67 851 705 Secondary Swimming Carnival Last Friday the secondary held their annual swimming carnival. The day started with the house war cries where Zemos came away with the first lot of points. They belted out their lyrics to Bill Conti’s, Gonna Fly Now. From there, there was plenty of competition from 12’s to 17+ in the pool and of course the almighty staff relay team, who were once again triumphant. We also saw some big splashes resulting in sore bellies after the novelty events. Juarn taking home points for Zemos in that event. Our carnivals couldn’t go ahead without the support of our staff, P&C, Mrs Northey at the pool and parents. Thank you to all involved. Congratulations to all students, results will be announced shortly.
