Barker College Carnival – Bungan Beach
Conditions were perfect for the return of the Barker College Carnival to the School Surf Life Saving (SLS) calendar. The boys had eagerly anticipated their chance to compete and had spent their weekly SLS training sessions honing their skills in the water and on the sand, competing for places in events amongst their peers.
The Bungan-Whale Challenge Cup (so-called because the hosts traditionally alternate between Barker at Bungan Beach and Knox at Whale Beach) was contested by four schools: Shore, Barker, Joeys and Knox. The following outstanding results were attained during the day:
