Year 7 News

Well Done Melba for Winning the Organisational Olympics!

On Thursday the 26th of October, the year 7s from house Melba were joined by teachers to enjoy a pizza lunch in the Lyceum due to their organisation over the year. Since camp earlier on in the year, the year 7  houses have been competing to earn points leading up to the big prize. To earn these points, we were to ensure that we were extremely organised, and teachers would sometimes do a class call out to count the number of students who had remembered their planners. The one thing that quite a few of us found hard was keeping our locker passes. The locker passes were a way to keep us organised. We would have to give them to the teacher if we had forgotten something from our lockers. This would then put us out of the running for the raffle and points for our house. There were many other things that would earn points for our house like Red Faces, which was a talent/performance competition. This could get you house points if you participated, or even more if you won! These all helped us work well as a house and a team as we were all very competitive, and I think it has brought us together in our classes.

As the year went on we would check on the score board in our year 7 assemblies to see which house was leading. In the end Melba won with the most points across the year! This was followed by the big prize… the pizza lunch! We sat around the tables in the Lyceum and enjoyed the pizza with teachers and friends in Melba.

Well done to Chisolm, Maris and Lyons for all your hard work in the Organisational Olympics too. It’s been great to practice our organisation as we have just moved into the big building and will have to apply these skills especially as we move onto Year 8.
