All our relay teams faced fierce competition from much larger metropolitan and country high schools. Simply qualifying for CHS swimming is a tremendous accomplishment.
It was wonderful to see "Boorowa Central School" displayed on the big screen at SOPAC during the relays, highlighting the spirit and talent of our small country school.
Boorowa Central has a proud history of participation in the Central Schools Mixed Relay since the event's inception, and we look forward to future success—including the goal of medalling one day!
Our history in the Invitational Handicap Relay is also significant, with past boys’ relay teams earning a silver medal in 2009 and a gold medal in 2011.
In 2025, it was an honour to have a girls' relay team selected to represent the Western Region in this prestigious event.
Although they did not medal, just qualifying and competing was an outstanding achievement.
Special Thanks:
A sincere thank you to Mrs Ingrid Corcoran, a teacher at Boorowa Central School, who also officiated on the pool deck over the three days as a Judge of Strokes.
Mrs Corcoran has a long history of involvement with CHS Swimming, having served as the Western Swimming Manager and Convenor from 2006 to 2012, and continuing her contribution as a swimming official on pool deck ever since.
A special highlight for the squad was being invited onto the pool deck for official photos in front of the CHS banner and pool—a memory they will treasure!
Congratulations to all our swimmers—you represented Boorowa Central School with pride, resilience, and great sportsmanship!
