He Did It!

Current Year 12 pupil and next year's Head Boy, Barnaby, has officially swum the English Channel in an incredible time of 9 hours and 42 minutes!

After years of preparation, icy training swims, and sheer determination, he has conquered one of the world’s toughest open water challenges — and made us all immensely proud.

Barnaby’s resilience, positivity, and strength are nothing short of inspiring. What a role model. What a swimmer. What a moment.

Congratulations, Barnaby — you’ve made history, and Mount Kelly is bursting with pride.
